kubefwd cant save changings in hosts file

[pavasilev]

Hello,thank you for the tool, but i can't use it on Windows 10.
I am currently using version 1.22.5 and I face the following issue:
When i am trying to port forward, system tells me that i dont have access to saving changings in the hosts file.
I checked all acceses and even give special access to file hosts in properties, but system continue to show this message.

Do any Windows developers want to submit a PR? I don't have easy access to a Windows machine at the moment. It has been working on Windows 10 for years, so something must have changed on the Windows OS.
