Windows 10: DNS request timed out in command prompt

DNS unavailable

Hi Anthony,

Looks like you are experiencing connection issues due to your DNS servers not resolving the requests.

Let's perform these steps below to flush your DNS and request a new IP address from your ISP server:

• Press the Windows key + R key to launch the Run dialog box.
• In the run command type cmd.exe and click Ok.
• When the command prompt opens, type the following and press Enter after each command:
  • ipconfig /flushdns
  • ipconfig /release
  • ipconfig /renew

Kindly give us an update on how it goes and we will be glad to assist you further.
