I had everything installed and done and tested a few apps. Internet was working. So I was trying out photo's app and then tried switching to a MS account and I failed to connect. Than next thing I know, I open up chrome and no connection. I tried countless methods to figure out what the heck happn. Did MS do something?

You installed all Updates ?

Can you run an Error Check ?

since the RTM is not out for regular users yet, i think this could be a sign that MS might have a few ways to block certain things from people

Most commercial antivirus software isn't compatible yet, the drivers they install to interface with the networking stack are probably breaking it. Windows Defender has a malware scanner built in, that should keep you safe until your software is updated

Stick with MSE and you'll be fine.
