ipconfig flushdns

About this tag
The ipconfig flushdns command is a Windows tool used to clear the DNS resolver cache, which stores recent domain name lookups. Flushing the cache can resolve issues like outdated or incorrect DNS entries, often after changing DNS servers or when websites fail to load correctly.
