Ping works fine, but no Internet connection in browser (7 Solutions!!)

Ping works fine, but no Internet connection in browser

The Question: Without having changed any settings, I can't access the Internet anymore
through my laptop running Windows 10. Every browser tells me the connection has
timed out. I can connect to the router and other devices on the network are not
affected. Windows tells me that I am "connected to the Internet" but
apparently, that's no help. It doesn't seem to work through other WiFi networks
or ethernet either.
restarting the computer, restarting the router, resetting IP configuration with
no avail. I couldn't find a problem in the network settings either. I tried
about anything suggested on this website. I hope someone of you has any idea as
to what could resolve the issue. Thanks.
Update
nothing else. I tried some of the suggestions I found online, but nothing
worked. Ideas?

Try reinitialising the network states. Run the following commands in an
elevated cmd shell:
* Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults:
netsh winsock reset catalog
* Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults:
* Reset Firewall to installation defaults:
netsh advfirewall reset
* Flush DNS resolver cache:
ipconfig /flushdns
* Renew DNS client registration and refresh DHCP leases:
ipconfig /registerdns
* Flush routing table (reboot required):
route /f

I've seen this happen due to Path MTU Discovery black holes. If you are sending
packets that are too large for your network and some part of your network is
keeping you from discovering that fact, then you'll only be able to connect to
some websites that insist on smaller packets when negotiating each TCP
connection, such as Google.
Try setting your MTU down to something smallish like 1300 and see if you can
connect to other websites. If that fixes it, then try increasing your MTU until
you find the highest value that works.
