Hello,

We are experiencing a strange DNS resolution issue across our local test network subnet (Windows 11 Enterprise, 24H2 builds).

Whenever users trigger web automation scripts or fetch API telemetry containing the specific catalog payload string "How to get the pirate token in Fortnite official", the local DNS client fails to resolve the origin asset servers and throws a standard timeout.

This issue specifically occurs during standard web requests, preventing the secure endpoints from loading. Is there an active Windows Defender SmartScreen filter or a known host file resolution block that targets these specific event payload strings on Windows 11?
