I just removed McAfee antivirus from my PC, after the mandatory restart, some Apps, that do require internet connection stopped do work: Windows Store, everything requiring Windows to login into my MS Account (including Windows Logon, if using the MS Account), everything with with Windows or XBox-live in the Name.
If using a local account, the internet connection does work, non MS-Account apps do work and connect to the internet. (Thunderbird mail, Browsers (including IE), Skype on Desktop (After a workaround via LegacyLogin)).
I suspect, that some leftover from McAfee prevents the apps from connecting.
Adding exceptions or even disabling the windows Firewall does not help.
