Cant resolve Windows DHCP Leases Hostname using unbound.

I have my opnsense handing out DHCP and serving and my DNS server via unbound.  I've enabled the option to have DHCP leases registered in DNS.  This works fine for non-windows devices, such as smart phones, IoT devices etc.  But not a single windows client is registered.  Can't seem to figure out why this is.  Anyone have any ideas?

Which DNS server is windows using?
It's pointing to the opnsense box for dns.

Okay, good, how do you validate that you can (or can't) resolve the intranet host names? Web browser? If so which web browser?

Oops sorry, I have made a read wrong. I thought you could not resolve, however you are wondering why not registred, and I have no idea...

Yea, can't resolve hostnames of dhcp leased windows clients.
