So my problem with my pc and internet (not sure though) came up a few days ago. The thing is when I do anything on my computer, for example let's take browsing on Opera.
I'm browsing on a site like Reddit and then I open a new tab and try to go to Youtube.
I press the Youtube from like this quick tool thingy and Youtube won't open and the internet just loads, as if I had no connection.
As this happens I can try anything related to the internet, like Discord or Spotify, it won't load. Also happens with apps, that don't use internet.
As this happens I can't even open my Task Manager from my taskbar and the only fix is pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, but when I do so it takes like a minute to go to the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen and then when I come back everything functions normally, like always.
When I don't have the issue I can just press Ctrl+Alt+Del and it goes to that screen in 1sec, so I don't know why this happens.
Do you have any clues on what could be the cause for this problem?

@BenjaminHirschbok take your time pal, when you have some results edit your question to address those. – CaldeiraG – 2019-04-17T11:50:01.647
I'm gonna be honest with you, this SMART error checking app is beyond my knowledge of PCs and I can't get further, than the installation. No actually to be honest, after I installing it there is an install text file to be found and I can't quite understand how the installation works. For now I'm stuck. @DavidPostill – Benjamin Hirschbok – 2019-04-18T15:30:43.047
