Windows 10: Why does it show “msedge” or “msn.com” or “login microsoft” when I do ipconfig/displaydns

At the end of my day, when I go onto Command>Run as administrator > ipconfig/displaydns, some of the…links or record names? sorry, I’m not experienced with computer knowledge - some of the “record names” will say “ax-ring.msedge. net”, “msn.com”, or “t-ring.msedge.net”, or “fp.msedge.net”, or even something that basically says login.microsoft or something like that, or a bing.com note: I don’t see any searches on bing in the ipconfig/displaydns. Is this normal? I am on Windows 11.

msn news not opening

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

I would like to ask few questions about the query:

1) Are you able to login to MSN new and MSN Money on webpage?

2) Please confirm whether the account that you are experiencing the issue while opening MSN apps , is that a

Microsoft Account or a Local Account?

If its not a Microsoft Account then I would suggest you to configure your Local account into Microsoft Account.

if its a Microsoft Account then lets try to change the Microsoft account into local Account then re-sync into Microsoft

Account to diagnose whether it’s a Microsoft account problem or not.

Please follow the steps to change Microsoft account into Local account.

• 
  Windows Key + I.
  
• 
  Tap or Click on Account.
  
• 
  Tap or click Email or User Account.
  
• 
  Click on Sign in with Local Account or Sign in without Microsoft account.
  
• 
  Type your Microsoft Account User name or Password.
  
• 
  Type a name for Local User Account.
  
• 
  It will prompt Sign Out for to make changes on the account.
  
• 
  Click on Sign out.
  

Once your account is change into Local account then restart computer and Sign in into Local account to sync or configure into Microsoft Account to check if it helps.
