ANSWER

To perform a DNS flush using the Command Prompt:

Windows 10/11

Open the Command Prompt.
Click on the Search icon (magnifying glass) located on the taskbar.
Type cmd into the search bar.
In the search results, right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

This ensures you have the necessary permissions to flush the DNS cache.

In the Command Prompt window, type the following command: ipconfig /flushdns
Press the Enter key.

If the command was executed correctly, you will see the following message: Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
