Hello MM,
Thank you for your thoughtful and patient explanation. You gave me good advice and I will take it. You are quite right that I should do one task at a time to avoid confusion and possible damage to my machine.
Respectfully,
Anne
I realize that there are multiple threads open. You should take no action (make no changes) based on this thread while working with other threads. Just FYI: the screenshot that you posted (quoted above) indicates that the DNS Client service is not running. [I keep that service disabled.]
By the way:
The space is optional for many commands.
ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig /flushdns
both work.
Hello UI,
Thank you for your response. I knew that the dns flush was not successful. At this time, I am going to put this thread on the back burner so I can take care of a more serious issue with my laptop. I am getting assistance from Malwarebytes and will return when I am done there.

I was attempting to tell you why the command was not successful:
i.e. the DNS cache if the DNS Client service is not running.
