in Windows and will also keep other options such as DNS over TLS (DoT)

Windows will close one of the last remaining plain-text domain name
transmissions in common web traffic," noted company in a post." Microsft

"For our first milestone, we'll start with a simple change: use DoH for
DNS servers Windows is already configured to use. There are now several
public DNS servers that support DoH, and if a Windows user or device
admin configures one of them today, Windows will just use classic DNS
(without encryption) to that server. However, since these servers and
their DoH configurations are well known, Windows can automatically
upgrade to DoH while using the same server."</font> </font><br></p><font size="3" face="Tahoma">For commentary on the issue: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/dns-over-https-causes-more-problems-than-it-solves-experts-say/">https://www.zdnet.com/article/dns-over-https-causes-more-problems-than-it-solves-experts-say/</a></font></td></tr><tr><td style="padding:10px 15px 0px 15px;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#000000;border-left:1px solid #dddddd;border-right:1px solid #dddddd;" bgcolor="#ffffff">Sam L.<br></td>
