- yourusername 3y agoI've read Windows will ignore the hosts file for Microsoft's own urls. You will need to block them at network level.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoI think that was in some Windows 10 versions where they flagged hosts files with those changes as malware threats, but I tested them on my W11 setup and all of those are unreachable from Windows. Unless of course W11 kernel now silently ignores those host file modifications but pretends they work by only enforcing them when the user space apps tries to access them.
