Windows 10, ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED, Connected to Internet, but DNS not working, Tried everything so far

[Coligan33]

Desktop PC Specs:

• 
  Windows 10 64-bit
  MSI Z87-G41 Mobo
  14gb ram
  256gb Kingston SSD
  Realtek 802.11n PCIe WiFi card

Alright...so I am having trouble with my DNS. I can connect to the Internet. I can ping all devices from my NIC to the default gateway, I can even ping other networks if I have the IP address. This includes Google's 8.8.8.8, but when I try to ping www.google.com, it cannot find the host. I have tried virtually everything I know and what my IT network professional friend knows. I have all the correct drivers. This all started about a month ago when I lost my LAN connection after a Windows 10 update. Then a couple weeks later I lost WiFi.
Here is what I have tried so far:

• 
  Any and all ipconfig commands
  Set Google DNS as my DNS
  Full reformat with clean install of Windows 10
  Tech support from an IT professional friend
  Hours of tech support with Microsoft (not much help)
  New wireless adapter (Sabrent NT_WLAC 802.11ac USB WiFi adapter)
  New Ethernet cable
  Uninstall and reinstall drivers for LAN and WiFi

If you have any other solutions that I could try, PLEASE help. Thanks

does it happen to all browsers? I have been to that page before trying to fix chrome. Does edge connect or have same problems? If its just chrome, have you tried reseting the browser? it could be an add on doing it as well.

Disabling DNS Prefetching

Google Chrome has its own DNS cache to speed up loading of webpages. This is helpful for most cases - until a website's DNS fail to resolve. You can disable DNS prefetching in Chrome by going to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy and disable the option Predict network actions to improve page load performance.


Clearing Chrome's Host Cache
For the adventurous, you can also manually clear Chrome's Host Cache. Go to the address chrome://net-internals/#dns If you do not see the DNS options, click on the drop-down list on the top-left corner and select DNS. Then click on Clear host cache

It does happen to all browsers. I have cleared the Chrome cache. I have also tried using Edge, IE, Firefox, and Opera, none have worked.

Its hard to fix a dns error as it could be your ISP instead. DNS is mostly hosted by your ISP have you checked with them?

It is not the ISP because I have tried my device at another house with a different ISP and I still have the same issue.
