Expected Behaviour:
Every time I restart my desktop PC, I should still be able to connect to the internet
Actual Behaviour:
Every time I restart my PC, I cannot reach the internet nor my pihole and have to restart the pihole manually.
Restarting your PC has no bearing on the operation of your Pi-Hole. In your case, Pi-Hole is operating on a separate device and is not providing DHCP services.
Your debug log shows no problems with your Pi-Hole setup or operation. Pi-Hole is able to resolve DNS queries internally and externally.
Let's take a look at the problem client. I assume it is working properly now, so please post the output of these two commands from the client command prompt:
ipconfig /all
nslookup pi.hole
Then, restart the desktop PC and run the commands again without restarting Pi-Hole and post those outputs.
Thank you for the reply,
I have done as you said and somehow rebooting did not cause the issue this time.
Regardless, I have included the results of the commands: https://pastebin.com/ydUt1zam
The outputs are normal. The client is using Pi-Hole for DNS prior to and after restart.
One day later it seems that the problem has manifested again.
I have included the output of the commands.

Do you really need IPv6 and the headache that comes with it? Things would be a lot easier if you just disable IPv6 on the local network and just deal with IPv4.
