    I am getting this right after the 1809 update which got pulled and I am back to 1803. My network card driver got wiped out with that disaster update, something got updated. I reinstalled the driver and now the networking is back but I frequently get this in chrome and all other networking activity is paused so it's not just Chrome. For example Netflix also malfunctions.
    I never had this before.
    There are no issues with other computers using the same wi-fi.

  2. DNS Server Address

    Hello there,

    I want to ask a question, What Happen if i change my DNS Server Addresses into
    Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties(on my router properties). I was using my default router DNS Server Address then i changed it into Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically.
    Because when i was using my router DNS Server i cant browse on any Internet Browser. Now i changed my setting into Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically, now i can browse like usual. But. Will it affected with my router provider ? Or Do you have any others
    fix to make me can browse on internet without changing that DNS Settings.

  3. DNS server causing problem

    Hi Andrea,

    DNS is a server that translates websites' addresses so that browsers can connect to them. If the addresses become outdated or the server has issues, problems and DNS errors occur. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following
    questions:

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to your device before this issue occurred?
    • Are you experiencing the same issue regardless if you are trying to be connected to a wired or wireless connection?

    For initial troubleshooting, we suggest deleting the DNS cache. This can refresh the DNS files and settings on your PC. Follow these steps to delete the DNS cache:

    • Using Search type Command Prompt.
    • Form the search results, right click on Command Prompt (Desktop app) and then choose Run as administrator.
    • In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig /flushdns and then hit the Enter key.
    • Once done, restart your computer and then check if the same issue persists.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    "Server DNS address could not be found"

    My laptop suddenly stopped being able to reach certain websites and says that the DNS address couldn't be reached. Some sites (like Google and YouTube) work perfectly fine, while others (like Tumblr and Amazon) just can't load at all.

    I've tried using command prompts to flush DNS and register DNS and reset ipv4 and ipv6 and I've tried manually changing my DNS server to Google's but nothing seems to work!!

    I'd really rather not have to go out and buy a new laptop.... can anyone help me out?
