Tired of repeatedly getting this error? Well, here are some solutions to fix it!

Assuming your Internet is working fine, proceed to the following steps

Step 1:Clear Chrome Host Cache

Try clearing your host cache, which will solve the problem if it is caused by an Extension.To clear your cache, open a new incognito tab by pressing the three vertical dots at the top right of the page, and clicking ‘New Incognito Window’ or by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N. Then in the URL bar, type chrome://net-internals/#dns and press enter. You will be taken to the following window.

Step 2: Reset Your IP and Clear DNS Cache

The method includes using of 'netsh' and 'ipconfig' commands. Netsh is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to either locally or remotely display or modify the network configuration of a currently running computer. ipconfig command displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings. Open Command Prompt with administrative permissions and press Enter after each command\

netsh int ip reset\ netsh winsock reset\ ipconfig /release\ ipconfig /renew\ ipconfig /flushdns

After doing this step check if this step fixes the "Server DNS address could not be found" error.

Step 3: Change Your DNS

This is the step that worked for me and most of the people online Here we are going to use Google's Public DNS. It is a free Domain Name System offered to Internet users around the world.It is both owned and maintained by Google.To change your DNS follow the steps given below

Right click the start menu and then select "Network Connections" or simply go to settings and click "Network and Internet".

Now click on "Adapter Settings" on the right side of the window Now double click on your wifi name now Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties" this mighrequire administrative permissions, .

In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window, select "Use the following DNS server addresses", enter 8.8.8.8 as the "Preferred DNS server" and 8.8.4.4 as the "Alternate DNS server". Click "OK" to save changes, open Google Chrome again, and check if this solves the problem with the 'Server DNS address could not be found' error.

You are done with Step 3! check if this has fixed "Server DNS address could not be found" error.
