Every day, my internet goes HALF down for about an hour...
Some websites work fine (google, facebook, youtube)
Most websites wont load at all (email, discord, 4chan, many more)
It only seems to affect my PC (hard wired). my phone on wifi still seems to load everything, so I can't blame my ISP, or any outages. And since it affects other programs, I can't blame my browser.

Any ideas?

Do you have scheduled updates in your PC, like an antivirus that hogging all the memory or doing a diagnostic that might cause issues every day?

It's probably an IPv4 connectivity issue. The websites that still work for you are ones that have supported IPv6 for quite a long time now, whereas Discord and 4chan don't (technically 4chan's CDNs support IPv6 connectivity, but 4chan.org itself doesn't).

AT that time, run Task Manager to see what programs are running. Maybe you have an installer running updates or something else is running.

Also display your Internet activity to show your current internet traffic usage in real time. If there is a lot of upload and download traffic running, maybe you installed something that is using up your bandwidth. For example, I visited some chinese cosplay sites and sooner or later I became infected with something that no antimalware or antivirus product could detect. The only symptom was my internet traffic was high in both upload and download. If I wasn't watching, I might have never noticed because windows was still responsive. I could not stop it. So I carefully removed all datafiles and necessary files from the PC using a file copier program INSTEAD of windows explorer which I assumed was also infected. I then reformatted and reinstalled windows on that PC. That solved the infection problem with the unauthorized bandwidth theft by some chinese infection or my IP was being used to read/post as yet another fake internet user in the chinese internet water army.

It went down again, I switched DNS to 8.8.8.8, and it all came up.
Thanks!

Pretty weird issue. Never seen it before
