Fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN Error in Google Chrome on Windows 11
Here's how to Fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN Error in Google Chrome on Windows 11.
The "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" error in Google Chrome is typically caused by an issue with your DNS settings. DNS (Domain Name System) is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses that computers can understand. If there is an issue with your DNS settings, then Chrome won't be able to connect to the website you're trying to access. Here are some steps you can take to fix the error:
1. Clear Chrome's cache: Open Chrome, go to Settings - Privacy and security - Clear browsing data, and select "Cached images and files". Then click "Clear data".
2. Restart your computer: Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can fix the issue.
3. Flush the DNS cache: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit Enter. This will clear your DNS cache.
4. Change your DNS server: Go to Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change adapter settings. Right-click on your network adapter and select Properties. Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click Properties. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter Google's DNS server addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
5. Disable your antivirus and firewall temporarily: Sometimes, your antivirus or firewall may be blocking your access to certain websites. Try disabling them temporarily to see if that fixes the issue.
If none of these steps work, you may want to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see if there are any issues on their end that may be causing the problem.
