I'm having a super frustrating network issue on my Windows PC that's driving me crazy. Whenever I connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, I get the message 'No Internet, Secured.' Running the troubleshooter leads to the same response: 'The DNS server isn't responding.' I've tried everything I could think of, including resetting network settings, running various commands (like flushing DNS), changing DNS servers, restarting my PC, and even checking services and drivers. My router works fine with other devices, but my PC still can't connect. I'm really hoping someone knows a deeper fix related to DNS client corruption or any registry issues. I'm not keen on a full factory reset, so any help would be immensely appreciated! If you need any logs or screenshots, just let me know!

Try setting your network settings manually instead of relying on automatic configuration. Set your gateway, DNS, and assign a unique IP address. Also, check if you can ping 8.8.8.8; that might give you some insight into where the issue lies.
I had a similar issue before, and it turned out the router was failing to hand out DHCP correctly. You can try running these commands in Command Prompt: `SFC /scannow`, then `Ipconfig /release`, `Ipconfig /flushdns`, and finally `Ipconfig /renew`. It might solve your problem.
Make sure to check the IP your computer is getting. If it's in the range of 169.254.x.x, that means your DHCP server isn’t working properly. Normally, your ISP would assign an IP like 192.168.x.x. Double-check your DHCP settings and see if that helps.
If your cellular hotspot works fine, that points towards an issue with your ISP or the home network setup. Seriously consider logging into your router and ensuring the DHCP is functioning properly.
