Yes it may be caused by the Windows 10 25H2 update corrupting network settings. Since browsers work but other apps do not the issue is likely related to Winsock, firewall, proxy or network drivers.
Try these quick fixes:
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig and flushdns
Restart the PC afterward.
Turn OFF any VPN, proxy or third party antivirus and firewall.
Go to:

Run:
sfc and scannow
DISM, Online,Cleanup Image and RestoreHealth
If the problem started right after 25H2 rolling back the update may also fix it.
