Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
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.
I went through the whole guide. nothing is working. I put Local as an exclusion for Windows Defender. I made sure that the hosts file is NOT read-only. I have uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, and then restarted, and then run as administrator and nothing is working.
