You need to run NotePad as Administrator.

Afterwards, if you restart the PC and open the Hosts file again, Windows Defender will probably give a 'SettingsModifier:Win32/PossibleHostsFileHijack' alert in Action Centre. In which case, you may need to 'allow' it in Windows Defender.

You are Right I got that message but through Malwarebytes

If you open an administrator command prompt, then edit the hosts file with notepad from that prompt, you should be fine. Notepad will start as administrator from an administrator cmd prompt.

I tried that it still did not work

But after rebooting it worked I dont get it But now its working

Thanks Guys for all your help
