Hosts File Editor has been rebuilt on .NET 10, with a brand-new modern edition coming to the Microsoft Store alongside this classic portable build.

This portable download is the classic edition (x64 and ARM64) — fully self-contained, so there's no runtime to install. Just unzip and run.

New

  • Modern edition (WinUI 3) — a redesigned, themable (light/dark) UI, arriving on the Microsoft Store. (This download is the classic edition.)
  • Native ARM64 build in addition to x64.

Changed

  • Rebuilt on .NET 10; the download is fully self-contained — no separate runtime to install.
  • Runs as a standard user. Editing the real hosts file now elevates on demand (a single UAC prompt when you save, enable, or disable) instead of requiring the whole app to run as administrator.
  • Per-user data (archives, backups, settings) now lives under %LocalAppData%\HostsFileEditor.
  • Binaries are Authenticode-signed, so the elevation prompt shows a verified publisher.

Fixed

  • Numerous correctness fixes across undo/redo, move up/down, cut / copy / paste / duplicate, import / export, filtering and sorting, and DNS cache flushing.

Verify your download: SHA-256 checksums for both zips are in SHA256SUMS.txt attached below.
