Able to surf the net but unable to connect to games/software

Windows 10, connected to modem through ethernet cable.

So this problem came up randomly when i turned on my computer a couple days ago, was working well the last time i used it (few days before, am in the army).

I am able to use the internet (chrome) to do pretty much anything like youtube, netflix, facebook, twitter etc. but when it comes to things like steam i cant update games nor establish a connection to any game, they all say 0/0 bytes when updating and i only see a green flat bar , games that have their own launcher like BDO/runescape returns errors that mention some form of no connection to servers, while EFT is stuck at unpacking. Blizzard somehow could update WoW.

Scouring google ive tried every solution but to no avail. Ive tried disabling norton's firewalls (yes i know norton always has issues im looking to switch up), ive turned off the windows proxy thing, reset internet options, uninstalled and reinstalled my network adapter, ran malwarebytes/CCleaner/norton's own full scan, scanned and updated drivers using Driver booster, turned off my modem for 30 seconds and turned it back on, even cleaned out my CPU for dust.

Not sure what any of these mean but looking at the firewall logs in norton there are multiple reports of "
"Protecting your connection to a newly detected network on adapter \"Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-V\" (IP address: ......). " with two different IP addresses
Also, " IP address has disappeared from adapter Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-V (IP address: .....)." with the same two IP addresses.

Much help required desperately, on the verge of just factory resetting PC since nothing is working.

 

internet explorer works.
trying all the game launchers i have to see if updating works, league's launcher itself can actually update the game but images on the launcher like ads news pages etc will not load
