Windows 10: Help!!! why can't i find Hosts file in system 32

My hosts files disappeared in my C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Can some one help me to solve this?

:)

 

with windows 10 why can't I name new folders on my pc

thank Mohammed and Annu for your help ! I was able to find and access SFC command Prompt admin. I did as you told me and typed in sfc scannow . But it said ( windows system 32 resource protection did not find any integrity violations ) my next question
is ( why does it say windows 32 system when I have a 64 bit system? ) does this have any thing to do with why I can't name my files ?

Thanks ,

 

How do i reset the host file for Windows 10?

Strange It's there on my win 10 pro and home edition




If you search around you will probably be able to add the files your self, another thought is you may have to show hidden files,there is a tutorial on TenForums to show you how to do that if you don't know

Try giving (copy/paste) %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in the Run dialog and choose Notepad to open.

 

Yup, that's the problem. Mine was not visible until I did this.
