I am a virtual worker and have to access many websites via a VPN so that I can gain access. I recently received a new HP laptop and since then I have not been able to properly use these websites. The one I could access and use eventually after changing some of my popup blocker settings and such, but there is another site I am not able to access at all and it's really frustrating as I use these sites daily. I have tried everything that the internet says, I have done cache and browser clearing and nothing. Anyone that can please help me.

OK, I asked because I have used work-provided laptops and they always came with a LOT of restrictions applied.
My guess, since this is a new laptop, probably running Win11, is that you are using the MS default browser Edge -- and that is a mistake as MS has blocked it from doing LOTS of stuff, including website access and file downloads.
My suggestion is for you to try a different browser -- Firefox, Opera, or Vivaldi -- and see if they have the same issues.
