I am having a really frustrating issue. I recently had a major malware problem. I did a clean up with Malwarebytes. The computer seemed free of malware, but was still running slowly. I thought about what to do, and before deciding to "refresh" or "reset" Windows 10, I tried to do a System Restore---and it would not execute after several tries. I also tried "sfc /scannow" in command prompt, and got the following error: "Windows Recourse Protection could not perform the scan. " I finally decided to "refresh" Windows 10. Everything seemed to be working fine after that, but then I started having problems with certain websites. They either fail to load, or give me "bad request" errors. Which brings me to this problem:
I have tried to use Command Prompt (running as administrator) to find/fix several issues: I am trying to flush my DNS cache to fix the "bad request" errors, using "ipconfig /flushdns" and I get a "could not execute request." I have also tried to run "sfc /scannow," and I get Windows Recourse Protection could not perform the scan." I did some research, and I made sure that both services associated with those tasks were running and set to manual...tried again, no luck! System Restore does not appear to be working either!
This is above my level of knowledge. Something is hampering Command Prompt and other repair tools.
In the meantime, is there any other way to flush the DNS server? I tried going into msc.services and right clicking on DNS client, but didn't see any obvious way to reset it.
Thanks!
P.S web pages are also "timing out" frequently across both my browsers. In fact, trying to sign up/in to Tom's Hardware, I got an "request timed out' error message and had to reload the page.
