Windows 10 is commenting out my hosts file entries. This happens periodically so every 1 hour.
Although I manage to save the changes but they will be commented out after around 1 hour.
I never experienced such thing on any Windows version before so maybe there is something I need to do in Windows 10 to prevent this from happening.
I have Bitdefender Total Security 2016 installed.
Answer
Sul,
Cause: Bitdefender Total Security 2016 is causing this problem
Fix: Right click on hosts file, properties, security, give only read access to "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" user/group.
