    Google Chrome can't access Internet!



    DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_SECURE_CONFIG error in Google Chrome browser only

    All other browsers work.
    It is just Google Chrome that can't access the internet because of this error.

    I googled the error and found these two solutions:

    Solution 1: https://twitgoo.com/fix-dns-probe-finished-bad-config/

    ipconfig commands
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew

    Set DNS to Google DNS
    Set Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
    Alternate DNS Server: 8.8.4.4

    Restarted the DNS in services.msc


    Solution 2: netsh int ip reset command - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGbaABn0pgk

    I've tried these solutions but still get the error.


    ---
    Only thing I haven't tried is "Update Network card drivers"
    but I just don't want to do that because I'm scared I will screw up my computer if I do, lol.

    I'd appreciate any more suggestions, solutions from you guys!

    I would really like to use Google Chrome again because I still love Google "RAM Eater" Chrome.

    I would do a malware scan to be safe tbh, something fucky is going on.

    I am doing a system scan with my Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition now, lol.
    I'm thinking if I should try and download/install Malwarebytes Anti-malware Free.

    Update: Scan finished, found 0 threats. 0 infected files. Though I don't do anything shady. I don't visit the Dark Web, the Dark Side of the Internet.




    Update 2: Google Chrome works again!!!



    Google Chrome can access the internet again! All I did was uninstall Google Chrome from Control Panel then I restarted pc, pc booted up, I downloaded/installed Google Chrome again and Google Chrome worked, lol. I have my RAM Eater back!

    Apply default google DNS 8.8.8.8 on your network settings

    In addition to Rechird's comment- if you can't ping this site you should check your internet connection.
    hope that problem solved.
