By digging through my Debug info (in the questionmark logo 3rd from bottom -> Report a bug -> scroll to the bottom), I found that I had a conflicting service running on Port 53. I then checked the running service using PowerShell:

netstat -ano | sls :53

I found a running service listening on port 53: TCP 0.0.0.0:53 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 12000. From this we can take the last number here which is the process ID of the running app and resolve it to the application using this from PowerShell:

Get-Process -Id 12000

This then informed me that I was running Papercut mobility print, which must also start a DNS server.
