Chrome Ignoring Host File

I am having issues with Chrome and IE.

They are ignoring the Windows hostfile. When I ping the website URL using cmd prompt, it return with the correct IP as per the host file, however when i visit that said URL on chrome, it is going via DNS and not the host file.

Any suggestions on how I could fix this? I have tried clearing caches, flushing DNS etc. This is only happening on one pc, not multiple.

Do you mean "hosts" file?

In Chrome go to chrome://net-internals/#sockets then click "Flush socket pools", from https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/chrome/how-can-set-chrome-use-local-dns-hosts-file-831226.html
