    Needing to type ipconfig /flushdns every time to play games


    So for the past 3-4 days now I've been experiencing a problem. You see when I want to launch either Lunar Client Lunar Client is a Minecraft client or Genshin Impact, the following errors are shown screenshot 1 is Lunar Client and screenshot 2 is Genshin. Valorant also has the same issue so it's not only happening in two games I don't have the screenshot sadly.Ever since it happened I already tried many things like:netsh int ip resetnetsh winsock resetnetsh advfirewall resetnetsh ipv4 resetnetsh ipv6 resetipconfig /releaseipconfig /renewipconfig /flushdnsSwitching DNS on the control pane

    Grant permission for ipconfig /flushdns to user using least privilege

    Anybody can type ipconfig or ipconfig /all

    It only restricts /flushdns, registerdns, setclassid and I think release & renew.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I'm sorry to hear that. I can imagine that must be frustrating.

    To better assist you, please answer the following questions:

    1. What is the complete error message that you receive?

    2. You are unable to run the game after downloading the game, is that correct?

    3. Was the game downloaded successfully?

    In order to identify if this is a network connection related issue, I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Type CMD in the search bar.

    2. Right click on command prompt and run it as administrator.

    3. At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:


    • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.

    • Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.

    • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.

    • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.

    • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
    Let us know the result.
