Like I did a reset to refresh repair this computer to pressing f10  nothing seems to work. I went and did a factory restore to defaults. went threw setting up my computer all over to putting a computer name/ Microsoft account to putting my internet. when it down loads updates, I log into my computer I type in a address it already shows I been there. it blocks web sites I been going to for over 20 years, like womansday/ taste of home/ news . I get a pop up that say I need to let the site use cookies/ or I get errors not responding/  time out.  tool bar is gone.
