On PC start, only MS Edge has internet access

So I've upgraded to windows 11 for the first time. Clean install. Running pretty snappy. One issue however.
When the PC first starts, the internet takes a few minutes to establish; this was the case in Windows 10, it took a minute or two to connect through the home router and get internet access. What I'm noticing in Windows 11 is that this is actually alot faster....for Edge, only.
Windows apps like the store, Windows update, other apps I have like Steam or Discord or Firefox or anything else, other than Edge, take ages to acknowledge that I have internet access. Upwards of 4-5 minutes even. Meanwhile Edge has internet access from the moment the ethernet connection is established.
I'm at a loss for as to why. I've tried a winsock reset. I've checked that edge isn't using any special network settings (it's using the default system "auto detect"). It's really handicapping my system where even basic apps that try and connect to the internet when you start them sit there for upwards of five minutes after bootup before they'll detect that I have internet access.
Using a fresh Windows 11 install. Connected to a router to the internet via ethernet and a Static IP

It could be some Windows firewall thing blocking all but Edge, or maybe the browsers not able to access the internet are set to use a proxy - except of course the later would be really strange and more like something you'd find on a system that have been infected.
So try booting in safe mode and seeing if you still have the problem. If you don't see the problem happen in safe mode, then there's probably a problem with one of the startup apps. After booting normally, while you can't connect to the internet on most of your applications, try opening task manager and sorting processes by status and looking for any that are stuck trying to start. It sounds like there are many startup services that can sometimes cause problems like this, but I don't see any mention of Edge alone being able to load the web immediately so that's a weird new wrinkle and this might be a different sort of problem. The advice in the thread I found also predates windows 11 by a bit.
I don't have any other info but that's where I'd focus.
