I just rebooted pc and could not connect to the internet until i removed Cloudflare dns and replaced clouflare dns with anything except for Cloudflare dns
the dns are configured via this program app
https://simplednscrypt.org/
makes it allot easier to find a random dns provider when I could not connect to the internet after selecting Cloudflare dns and rebooting
i also never noticed the 200 ping in dns traces until mentioned here that is a really bad sign as well dial up pings start at around about 140
when I run this test in google chrome with Cloudflare dns it says no dnssec support not secure and no SNI
cloudflares primary and secondary dns are both down at least for me anyways
google primary dns is down as well while googls alrenative dns is up and running

when looking for dns servers you only need command prompt and not crapware bloatware you ping the ip’s and look for bad pings and then you tracert the ip’s and look for time outs linkdeads any defects and you scrap the ip’s all together and look for another provider
while were at it lets take one more opendns cisco
