PC Specs - Brambedkar59's gaming laptop 2021

Recently bought a new laptop, pretty happy with it so far. Slightly larger 17.3" screen (compared to 15.6") really makes a difference, could be also due to the fact that I can use 100% display scaling instead of 125% scaling on 15.6" 1080p display. Colors are also much better than my previous...

Tried enabling and disabling them in settings, a restart and updating root certificates (by following steps from a Kaspersky support page). Nothing worked so I am back to disabling HTTPS scan and script injection.
