Windows 10: Network troubleshooter is saying "There's a problem with the DNS cache".

I've restarted my PC and tried to flush the DNS cache. I recently installed a new SSD, could that have anything to do with it? I'm not too much of a computer person so maybe ive missed something

Windows 10 DNS caching problem

After some time of messing around with the two windows 10 machines I have, one a laptop, the other a surface pro 4, I've consistently hit the DNS resolution issues that many other people have reported.

Basically what happens is DNS resolution stops functioning for a period of time, however previously cached domains still resolve. A simple and effective solution to this is to just flush dns cache with ipconfig /flushdns command. More frustrating is that
it appears when DNS resolution fails, nxdomain is cached as well (which may actually be a significant part of the problem).

Microsoft network engineering should take a good look at how the resolver cache is handled, as it appears that some failure which results in DNS resolution failure will end up with a cached nxdomain (which should never happen). The fact that a simple dns
flush fixes the problem instantly strongly suggests that there is a bug in this part of the code which needs closer examination.

 

DNS server causing problem

Hi Andrea,

DNS is a server that translates websites' addresses so that browsers can connect to them. If the addresses become outdated or the server has issues, problems and DNS errors occur. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following
questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What changes have you made to your device before this issue occurred?
• Are you experiencing the same issue regardless if you are trying to be connected to a wired or wireless connection?

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest deleting the DNS cache. This can refresh the DNS files and settings on your PC. Follow these steps to delete the DNS cache:

• Using Search type Command Prompt.
• Form the search results, right click on Command Prompt (Desktop app) and then choose Run as administrator.
• In the Command Prompt window, type ipconfig /flushdns and then hit the Enter key.
• Once done, restart your computer and then check if the same issue persists.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Can disabling DNS cache cause network instability months later?

DS cache only effect the internet name resolution not the local network if disabled it can reduce performance on the interent. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...t-side-caching
