iRacing Service Status: Not in Service - how do I fix this?
Article Number: 105 | Rating: 1/5 from 4 votes | Last Updated: Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 12:00 AM
It looks like the latest Windows Defender update removed the IPv4 version of localhost from  
C:windowssystem32driversetchosts

It used to have these two lines (potentially in addition to other entries)

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

but it looks like it removed the first one, leaving only
::1 localhost

Solution: copy that host file to a different directory, put the

127.0.0.1 localhost

in front of the ::1 line so it looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

save that file and copy it back to C:WindowsSystem32driversetc
