Windows 10 Resolving host issue affecting all browsers but Opera
This is an chestnut that I know has seen many posts here, but having read some I am still bothered by this vexing issue.
Every so often when I am using Chrome on my Windows 10 Version 1909 PC, Chrome freezes and displays message "Resolving host". At the same time, browsers Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi also effectively die. Some web services are also affected. Oddly, Opera browser remains stable and continues to run. I also have the latest versions of all the browsers mentioned as well.
Given the above, it is seemingly a Windows setting that is wrong rather than a browser setting.And the only solution I am aware of at present is to reboot the PC in question, and this can take some time. But of course the issue returns.
Other threads and websites refer to: using Google's DNS server, flushing Windows DNS and TCP/IP settings, clearing old browsing history and removing extensions. I have also disabled page pre-fetching in Chrome Version 84.
I have tried all of these without success. So, can anyone advise what else I might try?
Thanks
Mr Morgan.
