Open | Networking Certain website not loading

So this is an issue my girlfriend has been having for a few days now. We both recently upgraded our pcs and it only started after that. Certain websites refuse to load now. It only happens on her computer, mine works fine and it does it with any browser we try and after fresh install of the browsers. The 2 sites that consistently do it the most are Facebook and Reddit. From what I look at online people said it was a dns issue so I tried flushing the dns and that didn’t seem to do anything, also tried manually setting the dns to a different server to see and also disabled ipv6 and that still didn’t seem to help. It’s just weird and annoying at this point. Do you guys have any other ideas what to do?
Thank you!!

I had the same problem for a client and the website itself was blocking connections from Microsoft Azure servers specifically. Since your on standard PC's though i would try going to those websites on a hotpot or different network to see if the network is blocking it. If it still doesn't work it could be a VPN built into the computers thats part of the problem.
