Resolution of local hosts does not work with Windows 10

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

Resolution for local dhcp clients (eg. canonprinter.lan -> 192.168.1.40) works within the local network.

Actual Behaviour:

Resolution for local dhcp does not work on Windows 10 computers (canonprinter.lan not found), it does work on iPhone and Android smartphone.

If it works for the phones then we can tell that Pi-hole is working. The issue is on the Windows 10 box.

What does nslookup cononprinter.lan. show as the response? Note that final dot to keep Windows from trying with the local domain appended to it.

Also if you can check ipconfig /all and see what DNS server IPs are listed, you should only have one for the Pi-hole IP.

Thanks for your input! Interesting enough the domain name resolution works now on the Windows 10 machine. I am somehow puzzled because I have not changed anything.

For Windows 10/11 there should be a generic recommendation to refresh the ip config with:
ipconfig /renew
That forces the new settings to be active.
