Here is how you can proceed with changing the DNS records.

  • On the left part of the window, click on the option Change Adapter Settings
  • Find the network that you are using from the list of available networks.
  • Right-click on the network that you are using to reveal options for the network
  • Click on Properties
  • Find the Internet Protocol Version 4 and click on it
  • Click on the Properties for internet protocol version 4
  • In the preferred DNS dialog box, type 1.1.1.1
