Pinging

I have discovered that I cannot ping from my main PC, but I can with
the others on my network.

Pinging with both the URL and IP address fails with a destination
unreachable message (for www.bbc.co.uk for e.g.). Tracert also fails,
but it worked last night.

My HOSTS file is empty.

Any ideas what is going on?

Local firewall rule blocking?

Nope. Turned out it was Windows Defender real time protection.

Where did WD put its log of this event?
