It's a well-known issue with the Winsock (whatever that is!), with all versions of Windows.

Press the Windows key and X together. That should bring up the Power Users Menu.

Click on 'Command Prompt (Admin)'.

Type 'netsh'. Press 'Enter'.

Type 'winsock reset'. Press 'Enter'

Restart your computer.

Cross your fingers.

Drink large glass of vino.

In computing, the Windows Sockets API (WSA), which was later shortened to Winsock, is a technical specification that defines how Windows network software should access network services, especially TCP/IP. It defines a standard interface between a Windows TCP/IP client application (such as an FTP client or a web browser) and the underlying TCP/IP protocol.
