everytime i try to connect to microsoft.com or support.microsoft.com website there's the "internet explorer cannot display the webpage" error eventhough i have a good internet connection and able to connect to ther websites, and i need to perform ipconfig /flushdns or the net stop dnscache in order to connect to microsoft websites. and this kind of annoying error keep on appearing everytime i open the pc or restarting the pc.

any idea on this? and i patiently followed the workaround indicated in support.microsoft.com but to no avail. error still exists.

any help or info is highly appreciated.

thanks

Try another broswer, maybe chrome or Firefox, both with good reputations. Try to remove the add-ons from IE. Tools>internet options>advanced>reset.
