Windows 10: DNS Address Configuration, Registry, PowerShell

Does anybody know where the registry keys for these settings are located?"Obtain DNS server address automatically""Use the following DNS server addresses:"I couldn't find the settings registry keys or a command to find the source of the DNS address through Powershell or Command Prompt. I would like to find out through Powershell or Command-line to see if the DNS address is entered manually or set to obtain automatically from a DHCP server.How can you find that information out via registry, command line or Powershell?

We already provide the basic steps for us to change the DNS server. We suggest to contact your ISP service provider for them to configure and provide the exact DNS server.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you do have another concern.

 

Configuring Windows Defender/Update via Powershell/registry:


I have the following powershell script
Code:

Code:

    Set-ItemProperty "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" -Name DisableAntiSpyware -Value 0x00000001      New-Item -Path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows" -name WindowsUpdate      New-Item -Path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate"-Name AU      Set-ItemProperty "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name NoAutoUpdate -Value 0x00000000      Set-ItemProperty "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name AUOptions -Value 0x00000002

Basically, it turns off Windows Defender and stops Microsoft from auto-updating my computer. I restarted by computer and when I checked the Windows Defender/Update settings via gpedit, the changes I made via registry are not reflected.
As a test, I tried:

1. Deleting the entries I made.
2. Configure Windows Defender/Update via gpedit.
3. Export Windows Defender/Update registry setting.
4. Change Windows Defender/Update to an unconfigured state.
5. Close gpedit.
6. Import registry setting from step3.
7. Open gpedit again and check Windows Defender/Update. Both components are still in unconfigured state.

As another test, I also tried:

1. Configuring Windows Defender/Update via gpedit.
2. Delete Windows Defender/Update registry setting.
3. Open gpedit again and check Windows Defender. Both components are still configured.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thanks

 

WiFi adapter DNS address not updated

Hi. At work today I configured a WiFi connection using a static IP address, including a static DNS address (I'm a programmer). This is saved in my list of known networks. I have another 'known network' for connecting at home which is set to DHCP. When
I connected at home this evening, the DNS server I specified earlier is being used. When I open the adapter settings and open IPv4 properties, it is set to obtain address automatically.

I can specify my router's IP address as the DNS server in the IPv4 properties, which works, but I can't do this in the saved WiFi connection, as I cannot specify DHCP and assign a static DNS address.

How can I get Windows to use a static address for one network and auto assigned addresses for a different network?

Thanks!
