Just to clarify, you are talking about the final prompt the script gives you after it has finished running and offers to open your hosts file, right?
Does the update process succeed and have you manually opened the hosts file yourself to verify the update was successful? The only issue is just that the script cannot successfully open your hosts file?
Can you replicate the issue and copy and paste all of the output here?
PS C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\unified-hosts-autoupdate\tools\Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate-master> .\Hosts_Update.cmd

Can you confirm you are using Notepad++ as your default text editor? If not, can you tell me what your default text editor is?
Can you also tell me what operating system you are using?
Can you run the following command, then copy and paste the output here?
reg query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.txt\UserChoice /v PROGID
I do use Notepad++ but it's not set as default
I'm using Windows 11 Pro 22000.469

PROGID REG_SZ AppX4ztfk9wxr86nxmzzq47px0nh0e58b8fw
I'll let this issue sit for a while and see if others have any input.
There are several different ways Windows displays the application name, sometimes just putting the common name, sometimes prepending "Applications\", and sometimes using another unique application identifier, and even the same applications can be presented differently depending on if they were installed through the Microsoft Store, using a downloaded installer, or if they were a downloaded package not requiring installation.
Can anyone confirm that apps on Windows 11 have a standard to start with "App", followed by 33 ASCII characters? If not, what's the new standard? I don't have a Windows 11 to play with at the moment, but I'll definitely revisit this as soon as I do.
this shows up when trying to open the hosts file but the file "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" exists
