Hi @Nya344419152uaz,

The "Fix Host File" error in Adobe Cleaner Tool typically occurs when there is an issue with the hosts file on your computer. The hosts file is a plain-text file used to map hostnames to IP addresses before accessing the internet. Adobe applications often use the hosts file to verify the licensing of their products.

Please make sure of running the Cleaner tool with the administrator priviliges in the User account. 

Let us know if it brings any change.

Regards,

Shivangi
