Feels like your DHCP server is not giving the address of your pihole as the DNS to the devices. Did you change the DNS settings on your router/DHCP server? Or disable the router/DHCP and enable pihole's DHCP server?

You can check by running ipconfig /all (on a Windows CMD prompt) and checking the DHCP and DNS info for what your expect.
