I can’t create the website; it keeps loading the screen below and never progresses. I’ve already reinstalled it three times, and it still doesn’t work.
I am using Windows 10.
Could you help me?
Hi @Kadu
We have a Windows Troubleshooting guide below that goes over some common items worth checking. For example, make sure you’re running Local as an admin user, that you don’t have any security blockers, and that Local has access to update your Hosts file.
Thank you very much for your prompt response!
I will check out and see what i can do.

Hi @Kadu
It looks like you’re in the right spot, but if you’re not seeing it, there could be a few different reasons. Are you an admin user on this device? Or is it one that is issued by your employer? It could be that your user doesn’t have proper permissions.
Another could be that it’s hidden, so you could use these steps to check:
- Open File Explorer.
- Go to
View> Check Hidden items. - Navigate to
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\. - See if the
hostsfile exists.

Hi @Kadu - You might have to create one if there currently isn’t on on your device. Here is a similar issue in the Microsoft community with some instructions:
