What happened:

Computer was working normally until a forced restart last night. Upon restart gmail loaded fine, but the calendar would not show any graphics, social media sites (I tried Facebook, Insta, Reddit, Youtube) loaded veerrry slowly and without photos or videos. Note - I access those sites via web rather than using apps.

What I've tried:

  • Reloading individual windows
  • Restarting computer again
  • Cycling router and modem (unplugged, waited, plugged back in)
  • Running virus scan
  • Turning off VPN
  • Clearing cache, cookies, and browsing history
  • Accessing social media via Edge rather than Chrome
  • Logging out of Youtube and Instagram (When I try to log back in it says that I'm using the wrong password, so now I can't access those at all)
  • Looking at task manager but nothing seemed amiss
  • Checking with other family members who all say things are functioning fine for them on their various devices

I can access and use everything from my Samsung phone. I am writing this on an ancient MacBook Pro and can access all social media accounts properly as well as gmail and calendar.

Please let me know if there's something else I should try or if I can provide other helpful information.
