Have been working on a problem with win 10 for two weeks now. And today may have finally solved it.
The difficulty was that the internet connection would cut out after about twenty minutes when online.
The error message was that "the DNS server" is not responding. First checked with my ISP, and they maintained that there were no server changes or outages.
Checked all the connections inside. Then downloaded another browser to rule out my usual browser being somehow an issue. It made no difference, still lost the internet connection.
Tried all kinds of things after that, set up new network connections, troubleshot the connection, network diagnostics, all to no avail, I also did all of these:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
None of these helps changed the internet issues. And I grew increasingly frustrated day by day with my inability to fix this. Considered bringing it in to a tech. Eventually I hit on a solution I think, although it looks as if I've just lost internet again.
Anyone else have this problem and have they been able to repair it finally? There seem to be so many variables here.

- Correct your DNS server address
- Clear your DNS cache and reset your IP
- Update your network adapter driver
- Restart your modem and router
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
