I suddendly started doing this on 2 computers in my network. I couldn't isolate the problem. You are a godsend! Many thanks!
We are glad it helped KPN :)
After all Chromium apps (Chrome, Edge, Spotify) suddenly started so slowly, I suspected the problem was there. But it looks like it was the automatic proxy detection of Windows.
Now everything is working as it should again. Thank you very much!
