How to fix Dns_Probe_Finished_Nxdomain error in Chrome

Posted by





The fix/solution for the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error is same as the one used to cure the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG and DNS_SERVER_NOT_RESPONDING errors. These errors can affect any Windows operating system i.e. Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The most common methods recommended by various bloggers is to flush the DNS. This is very easy. All you have to do is enter a single line command in the command prompt. The second fix is to change the default DNS addresses. This second method has been the most effective for most users. Hence, I am posting below the most effective way to fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error in Chrome:
