Check that *redirector.gvt1.com* is accessible and not being blocked (it should show a Google logo with a 404 error).

Try changing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Off" or "Max Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".

Disable any third-party security software, this may require rebooting into Windows Safe Mode (networking enabled).
