Use the same process. If they have IPv6 enabled, disable this on these clients as a start.
With IPv6, your router may be advertising its own IPv6 address as DNS server, as in your case, and thus any device may by-pass Pi-hole via IPv6.
You'd have to find a way to configure your router to advertise your Pi-hole host machine's IPv6 as DNS server instead of its own.
You'd have to consult your router's documentation sources on further details for its IPv6 configuration options.
If your router doesn't support configuring IPv6 DNS, you could consider disabling IPv6 altogether.
If your router doesn't support that either, your IPv6 capable clients will bypass Pi-hole via IPv6.

I think this may be the root of the problem. I don't think my router deals with ipv6 at all. I can't find any dns settings whatsoever on it. I'll look at its documentation and see if I can resolve this.
Again thank you so much!
I consider it more likely it does, as there is a link-local IPv6 address (for a network adapter manufactured by Huawei) that your Windows client seems to have picked up from a router advertisement.
But if you're unlucky, then your router is not exposing the necessary options to control IPv6 DNS settings.
This is unfortunately the case, it doesn't expose any DNS Settings - my hope was that it would disable it when I disable its DHCP server. But I may have lucked out. Guess I'll get a new router. ISP routers are known to be as barebones as they come...
