Uh-oh! could not update hostes file

Hi everyone, I am getting errors when creating a new localhost, I don’t know how to fix this problem, please guide me.

I have Windows 11 version 23 H2

Also, I don’t have any antivirus and I only use Microsoft’s default Windows Defender

Hi @Salizan

Can you make sure your Hosts File isn’t set to Read Only?

Additionally, are you running as an administrator?

Select Start > All Programs > Accessories, right-click Notepad, and then select Run as Administrator

Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.
