Weird behavior with Chrome and Thunderbird as from this morning


Something has corrupted your Chrome application for Windows. Have you tried using Chrome on any other device?
Revo Uninstaller can remove all traces of applications, you could try using it and see if that works.

Just tried to use Chrome on my Win 11 laptop, I'm able to log into m y account and Chrome downloads pages just fine.

The laptop uses the same WiFi and router as my PC, having switched from ethernet to WiFi on my PC to see if that made a difference, (it didn't)

Oh dear

Reinstalling Win 11 means reinstalling all of my other software programs, nightmare.

I did get this when trying again when in the CMD as Admin, it says adapter 9 and 10 are disconnected, whatever that means.1714812784247.png

It has been recommended elsewhere that as my PSU is over 10 years old it may be that causing the problem.

Is this really a possibility?

I've never heard of such a thing. Power supply has nothing to do with it

OK then,

I just tried to run Malewarebytes again in Safe Mode, still no malware
Restarted Win 11 and tried my Thunderbird client and it came up with a new error code pr_connect_reset_error
Having googled it, it appears that it's connected to the antivirus throwing a wobbler, so even though I had paused protection and nothing worked I uninstalled it completely, and everything now works.
So I've decided to leave Kaspersky and go with Bitdefender.
