On Windows 11, when a particular website isn't loading, an app that requires access to the internet is not working or using networking tools like "ping" or "nslookup" show the wrong destination IP address in the result, it's probably a problem with the local Domain Name System (DNS) cache. In this guide, you will learn how to fix this problem.
When browsing the web or using an app that depends on an internet connection, the Windows 11 networking stack saves a copy of each domain name to an IP address translation from the DNS feature in the local resolver cache to make subsequent connections faster.
