Searches work fine once I'm past the captcha. The "Why did this happen?" thing is useless.
Here's what I get when I click "why did this happen?". I have 2 ea Chromcast on TVs and 1 Roku. Those shouldn't be sending out requests violating terms of service. Have been in place for several years, so why suddenly a problem. I'm the only user on network other than wife's iPad and a few printers.
Edit: well, ok. I can live with it or just work from google window. I
do do a lot of searches

. Just an inquisitive guy, plus chasing down several PC and internet* probs at same time. See other Win10 post re Windows blocking .exe executions, so can't update Epson scanner driver. Can't run an .exe file. All details on the other thread.
Thanks for everyone's response on this! I'll close ticket.
Edit: no VPN or proxy server, BTW.
PS: AT&T just got my internet back up after a week down by reducing the speed 15% to 4-5meg. Thanks for nothing. Was running mostly fine near 7meg for years. The good news is his visit was free.
