Editing the HOSTS file in Windows

The Windows Hosts file  is 

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

It seems to be locate here all the way through Windows 11.  Why I don't know.  Use BlueLife Hosts Editor, because it can archive your hosts file and mark it read-only after editing it.  THIS IS A GOOD IDEA as some malware will install malicious entries like:

127.0.0.1 google.com www.google.com

----- Send google website to nowhere
