pip issues with windows 10

[sxkladi]

I am running windows 10 at home and work. pip has always worked until lately. no matter what I do I get


WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ProtocolError('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host', None, 10054, None))': /simple/ipython-genutils/

for almost every package I try to install or update. I thought it might be a work thing,but now it is happening at home also.
I can not figure what the problem is.
I am running python 3.9.2 64 bit


Please help.
Thanks,
steven
