Can you play offline?

If so, then something (firewall, anti-xxxx, malware, spyware, virus.....) may be blocking the games access to the Internet.

Have you tried running a Ping Plot to the servers?

allcrapp, you have the Windows 10 Insider build installed which also installed a new NVidia video driver.

Due to some other problems showing up in that build, I would suggest you do a roll back to the previous version of Windows 10 and see if that fixes the problem.

I also noted the NVidia driver installation also installed the NVidia HDMI audio pass-through driver, which has always been a bit problematic unless you are expecting sound to come from your monitor speakers.

It appears Windows Insider Build 17661 broke more than it fixed.
Rolling back to the last stable version of Windows 10 got me up and running again.

Microsoft is not the only one who messed up.  NVidia has a really bad driver out in the wild which breaks a lot of things as well.

Yup, and I installed both in the same week.  Double whammy!
