Well, this is officially my first forum post here & I have a feeling that's it going to an interesting 1 to say the least. The topic states the issue in a nutshell, but I will provide more details about this problem so that hopefully someone out there can better help me.
The issue itself is related to the AdGuard browser extension which I was using, but have stopped for the time being. I seemed to notice the issue maybe about a few weeks ago, where some images in my browsers weren't being displayed right. (They would either show up as icons/thumbnails or there would even sometimes just be blank spaces where the images should have loaded.) So as a sanity check, I decided to do a few 2nd-opinion scans on my pc & Zemana AntiLogger was the only 1 to find a few infections which I promptly removed. I also did some troubleshooting on my own & even had a few remote sessions with a Microsoft agent, but somehow, I STILL was having the same issue! On my 2nd remote session, a different Microsoft agent suggested doing a clean install of Windows to see if that would fix/rectify the issue- it didn't do anything. (And when I did all the troubleshooting that I did earlier, I found that nothing else was really wrong with my pc from what I could find. Also, I have noticed that the images would load fine if I had the extension disabled. To be clear: this issue isn't apparent on every website; only specific ones.)
For anyone who's interested, there will be a few links to some other recent forum posts I made going about the problem in more detail.

Link #3: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1258819-can-we-take-some-time-to-talk-about-adguard/?tab=comments#comment-14128644 (For anyone interested, this link right here has several screenshots showing my current AdGuard settings & all that.)
I'm not really sure if this is an unresolved bug/glitch that has yet to be corrected by the AdGuard team or not. Nonetheless, I would appreciate any advice/suggestions/tips/recommendations, etc! And if you need any more details or have any questions for me, ask away & I'll get right back to you!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
