Windows hosts file auto reset?

I have an 192.168... address (local VMware) written in the local host file on Windows (administrator mode).

Windows change that file after one hour and put the line with "#" as follow : 

before 
192.168.72.128  dev.local

after
\# 192.168.72.128 dev.local

Do you know a way to prevent this?

I'm under windows 10 Family (version 1511)

Thanks

Solution

  • I finally found the problem. This is the local IP address 192.168.72.128 disrupting windows (assigned by vmware player).

    Since I put the address 192.168.1.186, the hosts file is not modified. That said, I have no explanation for this behavior.

    Thank you to everyone for your help!
