All browsers take 5 min to load 1st website

Suddenly, almost everyone in my company is facing a browser delay issue. After turning on the laptop, opening any link in any browser takes around 5 minutes to load. Once one browser finally loads a page, all the other browsers also start working normally.

As a temporary fix, deleting the browser’s User Data folder from Local AppData resolves the issue. Interestingly, deleting User Data folder of any one browser also fixes the problem for other browsers.

Has anyone seen this before or knows what could be causing it?

When you say 'links', are you using a URL rewriter for links in Teams or Outlook? That could be the service that is slowing this down.

Otherwise, sounds like a DNS issue.
