Why is the Hosts file not visible?

Question

Windows

Ideally, it is required to access the hosts file, but it is not visible, it included the display of hidden files, it is still not visible, but it is there because sublime sees it. In general, how to see it or access it. Windows 10 1809

Answer 1

DECISION.
RMB on etc -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Owner and opposite the blue inscription: change -> Advanced... -> Search -> all (very dangerous, but if you use the PC correctly, it will do) -> Ok - > OK -> Ok-> in the properties window (you should be here after all clicks are OK) click Edit.... -> and check the boxes for administrators and users in front of the inscription

full access

After that, I still did not see the file itself, although there is now access. some trojan or other virus was to blame for this.
We create a hosts file on the desktop without an extension and transfer it to the etc folder, you will be prompted to replace the file. We agree. Voila, the file is visible, there is access, and all for the sake of OpenServer and one line of code in php ....
Be careful with viruses.

Answer 2

You will not only turn on hidden files, but also uncheck "hide protected system files" in the view settings
