Windows 10 keeps changing *static* DNS entries specified in Wifi adapter

I am to the point of ditching windows once and for all for Linux if this is a friggin "feature" and NOT A BUG.

Scenario: I have my DNS servers specified for both wifi as well as ethernet. Ethernet gives me NO ISSUES. But yet if I restart my computer or simply switch from ethernet to wifi, the WIFI DNS SERVERS are reset TO 10...* (insert #s here.)

My LAN is completely 192.168.....SO PLEASE tell me why it is 1) changing them to 10. addresses when there is no such 10.* network, and 2) Why is it doing this?

This is easily replicated by 1) plugging in the ethernet cable then 2) unplugging the ethernet cable


TIA for ANY FEEDBACK!


PS: Obviously, I have DHCP turned off in regards to registering the DNS servers.

Hi there,

This is not a feature but a Bug in Windows , the work around would be like setting the desired DNS servers on the DHCP server.

You can also try this

Flushing the DNS. Follow these steps below.

  1. From Start screen, type Command Prompt.

  2. Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.

  3. Type: ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

I would also recommend you to change the Preferred DNS server and check if it helps.

Press Windows + R keys to open Run window, type
ncpa.cpl and press Enter.
Right-click on the connection that you use for the local connection, and then click
Properties.
Click to select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click
Properties.
In the Internet Protocol window, let's change the Preferred DNS server to
208.67.222.222
Click OK twice to complete the modification.

Hope this Answers all your queries , if not please do repost back .

Simplest solution may be to set the desired DNS servers on the DHCP server.

Yes, that is an option, but is this a bug within windows or one of their "features"? lol Had to have been changed in a recent update, as I've never had this problem in the past....
