Webpage/DNS slow after restart and sleep

[cly]

A couple months ago whenever I restart or wake my PC (Windows 11) out of sleep the DNS is slow to resolve. We are talking anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. It happens every time. I can run a google search which works but as soon as I click a link or select one from my favorites it does not connect and I get the standard error message depending on the browser. I just have to wait it out and click refresh on the browser before it loads. Once loaded the browser works fine until my PC goes to sleep or restart. I have tried everything from resetting modem and router, Flushing DNS, using the router for DNS or setting local DNS on PC, disabling firewall/virus. Nothing works. The problem is only on this PC. My laptop (Windows 10) has no issue. My work laptop has no issue connect through a VPN. Any Ideas out there? Thank you

My PC is running windows 11
Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz
Orbi RBK50 wifi router.
I also have an ASUS router running as an Access Point. Same problem if I am connected directly to Orbi or AP.

There are these reasons I don't use fast boot /sleep / hibernate and whatever......

Perhaps one of the many bugs that will be fixed in one of the next windows updates?

You can use a dual-boot configuration with a Unix-like system in the meantime. These are some very good systems:
Nobara Project, Void Linux, Mint, Artix Linux, MX Linux, NetBSD, Devuan, NixOS, FreeBSD and Clear Linux

I can say that I have never experienced your problem on Linux or BSD.

As far as I know almost every windows10/11 system uses 'automatic hibernation' during windows startup and shutdown.
I think the classic Windows startup method became very slow and Microsoft 'fixed it' by using hibernation for startup and shutdown.

Try using a different DNS server than whatever the DHCP server from your ISP is providing. If you're in the CONUS, you could try 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which is Google's DNS servers. After the first lookup, it will be cached so it won't talk to the DNS server until the TTL is hit or the cache is purged.

Nothing changed for a long time....

As you can see in your screenshot, next to 'Turn on Fast Startup' is the word 'recommended'. As a result, the system often hibernates on shutdown and startup (for most people).

This hibernation can cause driver problems, and so it could solve the OP's problem, in theory.
