[QUOTE="plat, post: 915648, member: 74969"] OK, here is a small dilemma that's come up before, prob multiple times, but OS configurations change so what was frowned upon 3 years ago might not be nowadays. I'm using Edge exclusively at the moment, no other browser. Anyway, occasionally in Event Viewer, I get these "warnings": id: 1014: dns name resolution on WPAD (or something) failed as none of the servers responded. Accordingly, webpages in Micro-Edge would take 3-5 sec. to load versus instantly. Annoying! So, Microsoft has conflicting stands on disabling IPv6, it seems. I followed this guide [URL='https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3336.event-id-1014-microsoft-windows-dns-client.aspx']here [/URL]to disable it. In another Doc, Microsoft warns against it. :rolleyes: I've done this before out of annoyance but things started gradually sliding south with regards to Windows. This was a few years ago, though. And yes: reset network adapter, changed DNS, flushed DNS multiple times, etc and slow webpage loading persisted. Anyway, Edge loads pages normally now. But what do you all think about this? Is there a reason/s for keep IPv6 enabled now, in 20H2 and beyond? Thanks for insights. Oh, version is 87.0.664.47 as noted above, the latest. (y) Edit: maybe I'll add a preferred DNS provider to the IPv6 section in DNS Jumper. Maybe that's the ticket instead of disabling IPv6. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
