    Do Google Chrome, MS Edge, & IE all use the same DNS Cache? And is there any wisdom to periodically flushing the cache just as a normal maintenance routine?

    I can't log into my Microsoft account or use the Store since Anniversary Update

    There is no notification about this problem. I tried changing my DNS to Google's DNS, flushed
    my DNS cache     & nothing changed. I then tried Open DNS, flushed
    my DNS cache     & still nothing. I don't know what else to try to fix this issue beyond doing a clean install.

    Boot bug and DNS CLIENT event BUG?

    Try disabling DNS client.

    To start View your dns cache, always good to know what is in there which may be helpful

    ipconfig /displaydns In elevated command

    Then clear your dns cache

    To clear your DNS cache

    >Click Start.

    >Elevated CMD

    >Run the following command: ipconfig /flushdns.

    Disable DNS Cache

    >R-click Start

    >Run>Service.msc

    >Scroll to DNS Client

    >Stop and disable.

    your store apps will not work.

    Myself I never Enable DNS Client and is always disabled. I don't use store or apps.

    Yes, unless you use an extension, which lets to use a different DNS or you use dnscrypt.


    That depends on various factors, like how fast an reliable is your internet connection.
    Flushing the cache will force Windows to rebuild it, which can slow down loading webpages.
    If you have a fast connection, you do not need to use caching, there is virtually no difference.

    Just a note. If you change your DNS server, say go to Google (8.8.8.8) or switch to OpenDNS or any other than your default ISP, it's a good idea to flush the DNS. It will get rid of any possible "redirects" from previous DNS and will rebuild.

    ipconfig /flushdns at Admin command prompt.

    Thanks to you both for the replies. After a couple of odd incidents, this morning I did flush it with CCLeaner and there's a noticeable improvement in Edge's performance.

    It's not likely I will change ISPs. Living in a one horse town, I don't have a lot of choices and so far CenturyLink has done a good job. Local cable company can't keep the TV connected, I'm not going to try doing financial activities over the web with something that unreliable.

    You dont need to change ISP to change your dns using opendns or google are both faster servers and have built in security your isp doesnt have opendns will block a lot of bad sites

    Hmmm. That may be worth looking into Samuria. Thanks you.

    Yes, that's what I meant. Poorly worded on my part. Your CenturyLink is your ISP, and if not changed in your lan settings, will use their DNS, with whatever they decide is best for you. And reap the rewards. Not saying they are sinister, but they could redirect you if they wanted to. The old 404 trick....you type in an invalid site, they catch the 404, and send you to some paid advertiser. I use OpenDNS, with Google as third & fourth in line. Both ipv4 and ipv6. Cost you nothing to try, you can always put them back.

    You make a compelling case. I will bone up on it. It'll give me something to do at 04:00 in the morning.

    That is a good one. Hasn't been updated for a while, but probably Gibson saw no need cause the premise hasn't changed much either.

    Takes a little tweaking and interpretation, but when you understand it, it sheds a lot of light on what's going on. Not just speed.

    Y'all are making me realize just how little I know about what I'm doing. Thanks, I've got some self-education to take on now.

    You know more than you realize. Anybody with the ambition for self-education already knows more than most. *Smile

    It seems, that moderator has edited my post and replaced it by mistake. I guess, Softpedia is not allowed.

    GRC does not work on my PC (it crashes upon launch), I use namebench instead.
