1. Clear DNS Cache Windows 10 CMD
2. Clear DNS Cache Windows 10 PowerShell

As we navigate the websites, these little by little occupy space on the disk with the DNS cache , this cache integrates data from the site such as its IP address, remote servers and other information necessary to access that site, since the cache is DNS present, the opening of the website will be much faster, but if the destination site changes IP, servers or name, the DNS cache Windows 10 will have a conflict when accessing that site and that is why in In this case it is best to clear the DNS cache, TechnoWikis will explain how to clear this DNS cache in two different ways..

 

With the DNS cache we are storing the IP addresses where we have been browsing and what is being saved. Sometimes we can have DNS resolution problems due to that stored information, throwing errors such as 404s and not finding a solution even with a CDN working correctly. Sometimes something as simple as clearing the DNS cache can solve temporary computer errors.
