ammarjavedI have tried the below steps to block youtube. However even after doing all the steps I can see that it is still accessible.
I have added the IPs still accessible.
- babulkhanCopper ContributorIt does not usually get an error. But could you please tell me one thing, why you want to block youtube? Are you stressed because of a notifications?

babulkhan : I wanted to block that to limit my kid's viewing time on youtube. I had finally found the way to do that.
I updated the hosts file under the system32/drives/etc path. took the youtube url and just added to block.
