Windows 10: Event viewer - DNS client events waring

I have lately reinstalled windows 10 education and notices a strange DNS client warning "Name resolution for the name www.yoyo.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."


What does that mean? I don't know what yoyo.com is.

Event ID 1014 DNS Client Events

Apparently it's not something to worry about. FWIW, the nslookup command confirms that the domain name shown in your example cannot be resolved:

event viewer question

I do quite frequently on my server. A Dynamic DNS Updater application I wrote places Application event entries in there whenever it updates the DNS or fails to reach the DNS server. I also check it for Windows Time synchronization service and any warnings/errors that I can fix. On desktop computers, I only look at it if there is a problem.
