answers.microsoft.com › en-us › windowsMar 14, 2017 · To be able to see your hosts file you have to show hidden files and system files. 1. On the View tab of Windows File Explorer, check the box 'Hidden Items'. 2. If you still cannot see the hosts file, click 'Options' on the view tab, in the resulting dialog, click the view tab. In the list uncheck the option 'Hide protected Operating System Files'.
