Local run into a EBUSY error when trying to update hosts file

Hey @mysticalrealm –

Welcome to the Local community! The EBUSY error doesn’t happen often, but can you take a look at this forum post and see if the solution helps in your case:

• Updating the Hosts File on Windows 10 - #3 by ben.turner - Support - Local Community

The solution to that thread says:

@jhakimbachi

Went into my Anti Virus/ Security anywhere “Webroot”
Adv. settings - Shields - “uncheck” the option “Prevent any prog. from modifying the Host file”

Let me know if that helps fix things!
