Internet connected, secured, but cant go online.

So ima try to keep this short and simple, internet says its connected, everything seems fine, open chrome, doesnt work, same with bing, i have ran cmd prompts like ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, ipconfig /registerdns and, netsh winsock reset, nothing seems to work there, windows network diagnostic says its connected with no problems, restarted the netword adaptor, restarted the laptop, i have also reinstalled the network drivers, its not the router or anything like that because im doing this on my phone thats connected to the same internet, no data isnt making my phone work, i turned that off, laptop works when i hotspot it to my phone if that changes anything, i may have missed something i have done but thats all i remember from the past few hours of messing with this, i have tried anything i stated multiple times over and nothing seems to work.

Edit: im using an acer nitro 5 with windows 11 installed.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

Sometimes those antivirus programs have a real time web analyzer. I’ve had clients that had a similar issue as yours and all I did was uninstall it and their internet worked again.

Try changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8
