"General failure" often indicates a firewall problem.

 

Is there a way to figure out the problem specifically and fix it?

 

Figure out what (non-Windows) firewall you have, uninstall it, and run its Removal Tool if one is provided.

 

I only have Windows Defender Firewall and the free version of Avast so it doesn't have a firewall.
For some reason I have 2 Windows Defender Folders in different hard drives, could that be it?

 

Avast would be my next suspect.

 

Well I disabled Avast's shields and still got it. So I uninstalled it and it seemed to work since it hasn't happened in 2 days.

 

You can now reinstall Avast (if you want it) and have no problems with it until the next time. Odds are that the next time will be months or years from now, but no guarantee of course.

 

Oh cool, thank you for the help. I thought it would still do it if I reinstalled Avast.

 

No guarantees, but usually the uninstall will clear up any corruption and give you a fresh start. If not, you'll know pretty soon.

 

It's possible that Avast got an update that got corrupted in the process. If you install Avast fresh from their site, more than likely that it should work fine, but if not then you would want to contact their support team to find out why your computer is being affected with their program.
