Use Command Prompt to change the DNS settings on Windows 10.
Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
Type the following command to launch the tool to change the networking settings and press Enter:netsh
Type the following command to identify the names of the network adapters and press Enter:interface show interface
Type the following command to set the primary DNS IP address and press Enter:interface ip set dns name="ADAPTER-NAME" source="static" address="X.X.X.X"In the command, remember to change ADAPTER-NAME with the name of your network adapter you identified on step No. 4, and change X.X.X.X with the IP address of the DNS server that you want to use.If you want to use Cloudflare, Google Public DNS, or Cisco OpenDNS, you can use these settings:
Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
Google Public DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220For example, this command sets the primary DNS addres to 1.1.1.1:interface ip set dns name="Ethernet1" source="static" address="1.1.1.1"
Type the following command to add an alternative DNS IP address and press Enter:
interface ip add dns name="ADAPTER-NAME" addr="X.X.X.X" index=2
In the command, remember to change ADAPTER-NAME with the name of your network adapter you queried on step No. 4, and change X.X.X.X with the secondary address that you want to use.
For example, this command sets the secondary DNS addres to 1.0.0.1:
interface ip add dns name="Ethernet1" addr="1.0.0.1" index=2
Quick tip: If you need to add even more DNS addresses, you can repeat the above steps, but increase the number of the index option by 1. For instance, interface ip add dns name="Ethernet1" addr="8.8.8.8" index=3
Once you complete the steps, Windows 10 will start using the new DNS server addresses to resolve domain names to numeric addresses that your device can understand.
You’ll need a new app to open this microsoft-edge – server 2019 – Microsoft Community Wasted a lot of time on this. Fresh install all patches applied and opened IE and was asked to update to Edge, Download> accept, continue install> accept and then “You’ll need a new app ……” Most of the posts I found show a resolution approach with a premise that edge is installed. I don’t know why but Edge is not installed in my case and trying sites with a link to install fail is a similar fashion. To resolve I needed to download from
I have upgraded cloud key with UDMPro. UDMPro don’t have a DNS. I plan to use Cloud Key as DNS and wanted to install PI-HOLE on it.
Followed these steps.
a) Factory Restore Cloud Key Power off the system.
b) Press and hold the reset button and then power on the Cloud Key by connecting it to the power source.
CloudKey G2 Plus
Keep the reset button pressed for about 10 seconds, or until you see the recovery LED pattern in a loop (blue – off – white). The LCD screen on the front panel will also read “RECOVERY MODE.”
Once the LED is flashing in the recovery mode pattern, open your browser and type the IP address for the Cloud Key, visible on the device’s screen. The IP address comes from your DHCP server, if you can’t access DHCP, the fallback IP will work: 192.168.1.30. However, keep in mind that if your Cloud Key does have a IP address assigned by the DHCP server, the fallback IP will not work.
You should be taken to the Recovery Mode screen. From here you can reset, reboot, power off and most importantly you can upload an updated firmware bin file.
Click ton Reset to Factory Defaults and then Reboot. It would take 2-3 minutes to come back with a steady white light. You would see information on the LCD that its ready to be configured.
2) Open your browser and type the IP address for the Cloud Key, Disable update/diagnostic in wizard
Let it set up. After update, I can see UniFi OS Version2.3.10 on Cloud Key.
Uninstall All applications, Settings -> Update. There are three dots on the right of application icon, click and uninstall.
Enable SSHS by going into Settings -> Advanced and SSH.
Open Putty and SSH into Cloud key;
User = ubnt
Password = your password
We are in console. If for some strange reasons, Web URL doesn’t work but SSH works, then cloud key can be reset to factory defaults by running this command;
/sbin/ubnt-systool reset2defaults
It’s time to re-purpose cloud key. I have found this sequence on unifi forum. Follow step by step;
#go superuser
sudo –i
#Let’s install nano to make conf edit easier
apt-get install nano
#Install dnsmasq
apt-get update
apt-get install dnsmasq
#(Answer Y to replace the files as keeping the existing will point to 01-pihole.conf which does not work until pi-hole is installed)
# Ubiquiti switched the resolver to systemd-resolved which reserves the port 53
# dnsmasq install will fail to start dnsmasq so lets resolve that

# Command to see if the database exists:
stat /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db
#If it does, then run these commands:
sudo service pihole-FTL stop
sudo rm /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db
sudo service pihole-FTL start
# Pi-Hole stores its 24 hour log here:

One last thing, you can install this tool on a different device but you’ll probably have to;
chown "user" /usr/local/bin/
“temporarily” on the terminal of your different device to make it work. The tool just pulls the current docker image from dockerhub so it doesn’t need to be ran on the same machine if you don’t want to.
Windows Core is mostly PowerShell and command driven. Here are some key questions and answers to get you started with this flavor.
Is there any way I can tell windows to automatically try to find drivers for all devices (of course after I establish network connection) so I don’t have to click on each device?
Try configuring windows (with the help of sconfig.cmd) to search windows updates for device drivers. Check the following links
