I have windows 8 and have been having problems lately. Whenever windows wants to do an update and I wait for too long the internet goes out and displays the error message dns_probe_finished_no_internet. there are very few times when it happens and windows does not need to update.

Another problem is that when I do go to restart the computer for the windows update only to have it say that it failed and tries again in a few hours. I tried updating them individually but none of them worked.

I have also tried to restart the dns client in services, but it won't work anymore.

I tried looking this up but any solution I have found hasn't worked. Can someone please help me, I'm at the end of my wits with this.

Somebody please help me!!!

Hello Dieya105,

You will receive error message dns_probe_finished_no_internet when you use Windows update?

Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories, and run the Windows update troubleshooter and Internet Connection Troubleshooter.
2. Run the command netsh int ip reset to reset TCP/IP, and the command ipconfig /flushdns to clear the DNS cache
3. Use the command netsh winsock reset

For more information, please take a look at the following  thread similar to this issue.

Hello Dieya105,

To avoid misunderstanding, do you mean receive error  messagedns_probe_finished_no_internet when you use Windows update or in browser?
Please share us a screenshot for better analyzation.

Have you run all the command netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /flushdns, netsh winsock reset I mentioned in my last reply?

If the error code is in browser, please run the command ping 8.8.8.8 and ping www.bing.com and check if you receive the normal respond.
