I'm using a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 mainly for my university work. Recently, I've been facing issues with Google Scholar. When I try to search for something, I get an error message saying my computer or network might be running automated queries. The only temporary fix I've found is to run some command prompts: 'netsh winsock reset', 'netsh int ip reset', and 'ipconfig /flushdns', followed by a restart. Unfortunately, the problem reoccurs the next time I try to access Google Scholar. I've tried using a mobile hotspot and different browsers, including incognito mode, but nothing works. I've also run antivirus scans. This is really frustrating since I'm trying to conduct research for my studies. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What browser are you using? Sometimes certain extensions can interfere with sites like Google Scholar. Also, if you’re using any AI tools, those might contribute to triggering that error message. Just a thought!
I'm using Chrome and I removed all extensions to see if they were causing the issue. I'm not using AI tools, so I don’t think that’s the problem.
