I spent weeks struggling with this problem on two different unrelated computers, couldn't even ping Yahoo.com and had many connection problems in web browsers, including "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" and "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED". I tried various ipconfig commands, restarting the DNS client service, "netsh winsock reset" and other solutions found on the Internet.
Finally, I realized that the only thing that was on my computers was Malwarebytes. After closing / exiting Malwarebytes, the problem was resolved. Now I can ping and access each website. The solution, again, at least in my case: close Malwarebytes
I just contacted Malwarebytes support, but in the meantime I wanted to provide this possible solution here.
