I am trying to add some information to hosts file in windows 10 but unable to save the changes - it is prompting access denied message.

Please suggest the way to edit and save hosts file.

Depending on the error you're getting.
If you're being prompted to save it someplace else, then you need to remove the read only attribute from the file.
If you are getting an access denied error, then you will need to grant your user name explicit permissions for full control to the file.
