Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 customers can now configure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) directly from the Settings app starting with the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20185 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.
 
The addition of support for the DoH protocol in a future Windows 10 release was announced by Microsoft in November 2018, the inclusion of DNS over TLS (DoT) support also being left on the table.
 
DoH allows DNS resolution over encrypted HTTPS connections, while DoT encrypts DNS queries via the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, instead of using plain text DNS lookups.
 
As shared by Windows Insider Program senior program manager Brandon LeBlanc, customers can configure encrypted DNS using the Settings app starting with Windows 10 Dev Channel Build 20185.

For Ethernet (wired) connections, users can access the new controls from the pop-up that open after going to Settings > Network & Internet > Status, clicking Properties, and then selecting Edit IP assignment or Edit DNS server assignment.

Users with Wi-Fi (wireless) connections can open the DoH controls pop-up by clicking on their adapter's Properties link, and then selecting Edit IP assignment or Edit DNS server assignment.
According to LeBlanc, the encrypted DNS controls are not yet available by going to individual networks' property pages.
