On a Windows PC or laptop, you must have noticed a webpage, that you visit often, is just not loading up, even though it seems to be working fine on other devices. Well, this problem arises due to the DNS Cache being corrupt.
First up, right click on the Start Menu and open up “Command Prompt (Admin)“. You will be prompted with a UAC (User Account Control) permission pop-up, just click on “Yes” to launch Command Prompt with administrator privileges.
In Command Prompt, paste the command “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter.
Clear DNS Cache using Batch File
You can even flush the DNS cache using a batch file in Windows 10. A batch file features a set of commands and you can just run to execute those commands. So, if you have a somewhat dislike towards Command Prompt, you can just download the batch file and run it to clear the DNS cache on Windows.
If you are still facing issues with a webpage, you can check out other commands to fix DNS Cache or IP address related problems:
ipconfig /release: Release your current IP address settings.
ipconfig /renew: Reset your IP address settings.
