Thank you Samuria.

I found the issue was caused by the "Host Process for Windows Services" being blocked.

I was then asked for a new separate rule asking to allow the DNS Client, but then again because the "Host Process for Windows Services" was blocked it didn't work to just allow the new DNS Client request.

Since I like to have control over when things access the internet, the solution was to just allow "Host Process for Windows Services" for 'LocalSubnet'.

For the record I was told that the DNS Client already has a rule named "WFC - Core Networking - DNS (UDP-Out)", but when "Host Process for Windows Services" is blocked this wrecks the order of things.
