Windows 7 How do I change the default DNS timeout value?

[jigga18]

I'm having trouble getting some websites to load for me. This didn't start happening until I got satellite internet recently.
I've been reading around and the most common answer I see is to increase the dns timeout value.
But I can't find the proper steps on how to do it for win 7.
Can somebody help me out?

To adjust the DNS timeout value in Windows 7, you can modify the registry settings. Here are the steps to increase the DNS timeout value on Windows 7:

1. Open the Registry Editor:
   • Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   []Navigate to the DNS Parameters:
   • In the Registry Editor, go to the following key: HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Tcpip\\Parameters.
   []Create a New DWORD Value:
   • Right-click on an empty space in the right pane.
   • Choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
   • Name this new DWORD value as QueryTimeoutInterval.
   []Set the Value:
   • Double-click on QueryTimeoutInterval and set the Value data to the desired timeout value in milliseconds.
     • For example, if you want to set it to 10 seconds, the value would be 10000 (1 second = 1000 milliseconds).
   []Restart Your Computer:
   • After setting the value, restart your computer to apply the changes. Please note that modifying the Windows registry can have implications on the system's functionality. Ensure you follow the steps carefully and back up the registry before making any changes. After following these steps, the DNS timeout value should be adjusted to your specified duration, potentially improving website loading on your Windows 7 device with satellite internet.
