Thanks for the response but after days of troubleshooting I just gave up, it’s almost impossible to determine what is causing the conflicts as it appears to be between Windows Defender, LocalWP and Kaspersky AV. Too much restriction and tool complexity trying to white list the program in addition to poor security practices from LocalWP developers. The only work around is using Virtual Machines ( virtualbox ) and not install any antivirus software. Also thanks for the suggestions, I did exactly as you suggested but it did not work after trying your solution and I will revert back as I don’t want to expose my host file to future attacks.

Hi, and thanks for replying, The Problem appears to be that Kaspersky takes over the localhost file and prevents overwriting. I tested spinning up a virtual machine with default Windows 10 20H2 BUILD 19042.631 and it’s running Good with No problems. ( no antivirus ) The problem is when installing Kaserpsky, it prevents LocalWP to create local wordpress websites for testing as it freezes the program and it stops it from finishing setting up a local wordpres website. In addition, when installing wordpress plugins, it throws off curl errorsI also added it to an exclusion but problems persist.Problem continues even after I ran it as administrator too see attached screenshot

Hi Kaspersky Team, I bought 3 Kaspersky Total Security License for 15 computers the ONLY problem I have is Kaspersky Total Security is causing Problems with LocalWP by Flywheel https://localwp.com/ It is a WordPress web development testing platform. Please fix ? See topics here https://localwp.com/community/search?q=kaspersky%20order%3Alatest I already added it to exclusions but not luck :(
