I have very strange problem. I'm using dnscrypt for many years and now when i moved to win10 and tried to check windows store and xbox (game pass) i cant access them. Internet and everything else is working fine (including windows updates)
Network status in settings app is showing all fine "you are connected to internet" , no yellow exclamation mark on connection icon.
First I suspected dnscrypt proxy, to mishandle some queries coming from store apps and to be at fault but with further troubleshooting it has to be something with store [apps] and how they resolve stuff or something. As for everything else DNS is flawless.
Problem:
With dns server configured on local address (@127.), windows store wont connect (its usual nw errors like Code: 0x00000194) - store is OK initially i did numerous store troubleshooting reinstalling, purging cache etc but thats not the problem here - when i start xbox companion app it is unable to connect - it just shows "welcome back" (like I'm logged) but when i click "lets play" it just blinks back to login prompt and "we cant sign you in right now try again later"
workaround:
If I put 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 etc as DNS everything suddenly works fine.
Config:
So my DNS server setting is 127.0.0.9 (where dnscrypt listens and forwards queries to public resolvers) , I have also disabled windows native "dnscache" service, as dnscrypt does caching itself. However there seems to be bug with dnscache disabled as ipconfig /all no longer shows dns servers, its also not showed in network connections and clicking on nw adapter -> status , it DNS server info is empty.
I also have ipv6 disabled.

there is no DNS server info in output, neither with /displaydns - as this relies on dnscache service (which is not good imo)
<code>

same with powershell

DNS works:
C:\Windows\System\BIND9.14.9.x64>nslookup microsoft.com
Server: 127.0.0.9
Address: 127.0.0.9#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: microsoft.com
Address: 13.77.161.179
Name: microsoft.com
Address: 40.76.4.15
.....
I ruled out dnscrypt proxy issue by
a) running unbound resolver @127.0.0.4, which forwarded queries to dnscrypt 127.0.0.9
b) running unbound resolver @127.0.0.4, which forwarded queries to public DNS like 1.1.1.1
In both cases problem persists. So it must be flaw in store/xbox (possibly other store apps but i dont use anything else) as 1.1.1.1 works perfectly fine but if its "routed" via local unbound DNS apps dont work.
Good third test would be if I could run unbound/dnscrypt at some public IP but I dont have any PC/server outside my lan.
Any idea what could be wrong?
