Some websites will not work because they want me to turn off adblock. I have deleted adblock from my expentions but all ads are still blocked.

No browsers will display ads. I have used Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Explorer. I uninstalled ad-block on those that had it but many sites still want me to turn off my non existent ad block. I installed Win 10 over Win 7

Create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.


Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
