Could be some security software. You might have to whitelist Google.

Check your Settings for possible block on Google. Check your Ad-Blocker and Anti-virus for possible blocks.

Hope it returns to normal for you. There's other search engines you can use instead like Duck Duck Go, or Bing for instance.

I use DuckDuckGo all the time.

Check your firewall. You may need to adjust the settings on your computer. I also saw online that Google does this temporarily if they suspect spam or unusual activity.
