Hello @Ashish,

Thank you for the additional information & images👌

• Kaspersky does not support beta versions/previews of new operating systems. Only final, officially released operating systems are supported.
• Microsoft Technical Support Level 3 Engineer: Elliot, has just confirmed: Windows 10 2004 19041.264 is in the Insider Preview cycle, it is not a commercial, stable release. 
• ➡ Please update the system to Windows 10 1909 18363.836 & recheck the issues?⬅

Thank you🙏

Also, as a simple step you can try to clear browsing data All time on Chrome (with cookies).

This is for the Youtube concern: if you haven’t tried it already, try to access Youtube in incognito tab without logging in.

This works. I had the same problem after Safe Kids update using Firefox on Windows 10 v1909 and clearing cache for Google sites helped.

@FLOOD 

Maybe you can pass to the developers that it hangs on “Waiting for ff.ksk.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com...”

Hello @Kilgore, 

Welcome!

• “Hanging on ff.ksk.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com” was a known issue with Kaspersky’s AV software patch J update, however, with KSK 1.0.5.6123e we’ve not been able to replicate the issue, in any browser for: Youtube comments, Gmail, Google Hangouts. 
• Re “Maybe you can pass to the developers”, I have nothing to do with Kaspersky, apart from the fact I use their software. Just like everyone else in the Community; the only in-house Kaspersky people are easily identified by Kaspersky employee beside their name, everyone else is just like you & me, a user of Kaspersky software, we all volunteer our time, to help each other. 

• Please raise a case with Kaspersky Technical Support, (see template below as a guide) provide a detailed history, images, a GSI & Windows logs; they may ask for KSK Traces, captured as the issue is replicated.
• After submitting the case, you’ll receive an automated email with an INC+12digits reference number, then, normally, within 5 business days, a Kaspersky Technical Support human will communicate with you, also by email, you may continue to engage with the Kaspersky Technical Team via email or by updating the INC in your MyKaspersky account.

Thank you🙏

@FLOOD 

First, thank you for detailed explanation.

Second, I cannot now replicate this issue as after clearing cache everything works. Mind you I haven’t found issues with ff.ksk.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com  after quick googling. There is a lot with ff.ksi.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com, but this is different server probably for Kaspersky Internet Security.

I guess this issue appears when there are old addresses injected in cache files, but they are not used by new version of Kaspersky product anymore. I think they should provide something like transient period when both function simultaneously.

Generally I think KSK is a little too rough around the edges for non IT users. Many people I know, that once used it, doesn’t anymore, because it stopped working for them at some point and they couldn’t figure how to fix it.

Which is a shame because it is a nice product.

Hello @Kilgore,

You’re most welcome☺ !

• Re “rough around the edges”, agreed, KSK has a lot of flaws & is not user friendly, needs work. 
• For anyone, if the “Youtube comments not loading, Gmail not opening properly, Hangouts Chat messages not working - hanging on ff.ksk.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com “ issue persists and if running incognito browser & or full browser reset & or clearing cache, history etc. & or exiting KSK (to recheck), the issue needs to be raised with the Support Team, without data, they will not take any action.

Thank you🙏
