When you execute the above command, your PC will release your current IP address. Now, you can head back to Chrome and check if the chrome://net-internals/#dns is working or not.

2. Restart the DNS service

3. Reset Chrome flags

Often, when you turn on certain Chrome flags, they can mess up the in-browser settings and cause issues such as chrome://net-internal not working. In such a case, we would suggest you reset all flags in the browser and check if the problem is resolved or not.

That is it from us in this guide. We hope that the solutions in this guide helped you understand how you can clear the DNS cache on your Google Chrome browser.
