Windows 10: Dns client errors after changing host file

I recently had to completely refresh my host file and followed the windows and 10 instructions on how to do it. But now I get this constantly in event viewer. Please help.

Browser /connection security, hosts file and DNS service

You're saying that Open DNS(and other services like it) house their own list of known 'bad' sites, and by using their DNS servers, it will filter out sites based on that list?

Would you believe I was already using Open DNS servers.
This means the hosts file is moot?

And furthering that, if there's any bespoke sites I want to manually add, I could do it through my router directly.

Thus I can empty my local hosts file and turn my DNS service back on?

DNS Client

Event ID: 8020

Task Category: (1028)

Level: Warning

Keywords:

User: NETWORK SERVICE

Computer: Hostname

Description:

The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter

with settings:

Adapter Name : {XXXXXXXXXXX}

Host Name : Hostname

Primary Domain Suffix : Domain

DNS server list :

10.10.10.10

Sent update to server : <?>

IP Address(es) :

10.10.10.11

The reason the system could not register these RRs during the update request was because of a system problem. You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing 'ipconfig /registerdns' at the command prompt. If problems
still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator. See event details for specific error code information.

System is not registering its A Record in DNS Zone. Above log generated post running ipconfig /registerdns.

System is connected over VPN.
