Fix ‘This Site Can’t Be Reached’ Error: How to Edit the Hosts File in Windows (Step-by-Step Guide)
ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID
You need administrative privileges to edit and save the `hosts` file in Windows. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open Notepad as Administrator:
Type "Notepad" in the Windows Start menu search.
Right-click on "Notepad" and select Run as administrator.
2. Open the Hosts File:
In Notepad, go to File : Open.
Navigate to `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\`.
In the "File name" field, type `hosts` and change the file type dropdown to All Files so you can see it, then open the file.
3. Edit and Save the File:
Find and delete any lines that include "youtube.com" or "google.com".
After making changes, go to File: Save to save the file.
4. Close Notepad and try accessing YouTube Studio again.
If you still face issues saving, double-check that you opened Notepad as an administrator; without admin rights, the file won’t save.
