    How To Fix ‘DNS Server Isn’t Responding’ in Windows 11

    If you’re facing DNS Server that isn’t responding on Windows 11 PC, then there’s nothing to worry about. Usually, most of the issues related to the network are fixed by resetting network settings in Windows 11. If that fails, then there are advanced workaround to fix the same issue.

    In this blog post, we’re going to share of them that help users in fixing the same issue. Let’s start with the first one:

    Update Network Driver

    If you encounter this error, then you should first try updating the network driver. To do so, follow the steps given below-

    Open Start Menu by pressing the Windows key. In the Start Menu, search for and open Device Manager. 

    Device Manager

    In the Device Manager, expand the Network Adapter tab. Here, right-click on the network driver, and then click on Update Driver. 

    Update Driver

    Now, click on Search automatically for drivers to update the driver. 

    Search Automatically For Drivers

    Once done, close the Device Manager, and restart your PC. 

    Manually Change DNS Address

    Another thing that you can try doing is manually changing the DNS address. Given below are the steps to change the DNS address manually-

    Press Windows + R key combo and then in the Run dialog box type ncpa.cpl and hit Enter. 

    NCPA

    On the next window that opens up, select your network driver. Right-click on it and then click on Properties. 

    Properties

    Here, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP /IPv4) and click on Properties. 

    Wi-Fi Properties

    Now, select the option for Use the following DNS server addresses. Here, you can enter a custom DNS Server address from Cloudflare, Google, and the one you want. Learn how to set up Cloudflare DNS in Windows.

    how to set up Cloudflare DNS in Windows

    For example; Set the Preferred DNS Server to 1.1.1.1 and set the Alternate DNS Server to 1.0.0.1 and click on OK.

    If you select Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) set Prefered to this: 2606:4700:4700::1111 and alternate to this 2606:4700:4700::1001.

    Once done, reconnect to the network you are connected to and you will no longer face the issue.

    Flush DNS Cache

    If you still face the issue, then you should try flushing the DNS cache. To do so, follow the steps given below-

    Click on the Start Icon and then search for CMD. Select Command Prompt and then click on Run as administrator. 

    CMD

    In the Command Prompt, type and execute the following commands-

    Flush DNS
    • ipconfig /flushdns
    • ipconfig /registerdns
    • ipconfig /release
    • ipconfig /renew

    Once done, close the Command Prompt and the issue will be fixed.

    So these are some of the possible workarounds that you can apply to fix DNS server isn’t responding in Windows 11, and you should be able to use the internet again.
