    Make sure Java and perhaps Flash are up to date. Old Java versions could certainly cause the issues your experiencing.

    Definitely not that as I don't have either installed :D

    EDIT: could that be my problem? should I install them? however this doesn't answer why the PC worked before the windows update.

    FURTHER EDIT: just installed Java, still doesn't work :(

    Probably reinstalling the OS is your best bet OP.

    I have had issues with my Dell too after the Anniversary update. Mine is touchscreen. Can't scroll with the touch pad or touch screen in Chrome only. Tried everything I saw online but nothing works so I simply scroll with the touch pad on the side bar.

    AndyPix just doesn't download the sites and times out all the time, however many times you try.
    .


    Is that the message you get ? ie "the connection has timed out"


    Is this only when you visit httpS sites ?


    And this is the same using any browser ?
