About 3 weeks ago I first saw 'resolving hosts' in Chrome when pages weren't loading, or were taking several minutes to load. The same thing was happening in Firefox and Edge at the same time. At that time a reboot seemed to fix it. Since then it's happened frequently, every few days. I tried a number of things and at first these sometimes seemed to be working, sometimes with a reboot: Changed to public DNS for TCP/IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Cycling modem and router Clearing browser caches Flushing PC cache Made sure Chrome page preload was off Checked host file Not using a VPN or proxy server Turned off port scan/DoS protection in router (previous router) Now I'm encountering 'resolving hosts' almost every single day. Sometimes it happens when I first turn on the PC in the morning. Sometimes in the middle of the day when I'm working, it will suddenly start. The only thing that now works reliably is typing this in a command window and rebooting: netsh int ip reset Can someone please help me get to the root of this problem? I'd never seen it before about 3-3.5 weeks ago.

All problems with the "Resolving Hosts" issue have been remedied for all of my browsers! Update your Malwarebytes. I am using Malwarebytes version 4.1.2.73; Update package version: 1.0.27793; Component package version 1.0.990

I have had the same problem on my laptop, but rarely with my desktop. Neither my laptop or my desktop have Malware Bytes (and never had them). I use Norton 360. I used the CMD instruction at the top of this thread. The laptop still has the problem after reboot. I have had the problem with both Edge and Chrome. Is there anything to be gained by contacting my cable company who supply the router?

Thank you, Josep****h, This worked fine for me.! I will check how many days without "Resolving host" I will get. Is it possible to make a program to do all this in a single Enter ??? Thank you very much again. Jaacov Molcho ******@yahoo.com

'Resolving Hosts' issue in Chrome and other browsers now occurs almost daily

About 3 weeks ago I first saw 'resolving hosts' in Chrome when pages weren't loading, or were taking several minutes to load. The same thing was happening in Firefox and Edge at the same time. At that time a reboot seemed to fix it.

Since then it's happened frequently, every few days. I tried a number of things and at first these sometimes seemed to be working, sometimes with a reboot:

Changed to public DNS for TCP/IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
Cycling modem and router
Clearing browser caches
Flushing PC cache
Made sure Chrome page preload was off
Checked host file
Not using a VPN or proxy server
Turned off port scan/DoS protection in router (previous router)

Now I'm encountering 'resolving hosts' almost every single day. Sometimes it happens when I first turn on the PC in the morning. Sometimes in the middle of the day when I'm working, it will suddenly start.
