    Weird windows firewall rule behavior. Assigning wrong path?


    So I go to start up Portal 2 today. I get a windows firewall popup to allow or block. It's been installed for a LONG time so i thought it was odd, and opened up windows firewall to check.

    The rule had assigned the path instead of its actual path which is S: it assigned it as E:6\

    I looked further and another game that is on S: has a path as E:8\

    When i change the path to the proper path, the windows firewall notification pops up again, and re-adds a new rule with the wonky path again.

    Closing. (well closest thing to that users can anyhow) the issue is not with windows firewall its due to this > https://www.tenforums.com/general-su...ml#post1879792

    :)

  3. Windows Firewall Forgetting Rules

    I've recently installed the latest version of Windows 10 in my PC. I've blocked and allowed some softwares in Windows Firewall. But Firewall keeps forgetting the rules in 1/2 days. For example, I've allowed Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 in Firewall. But in a
    few days, when I open the game, firewall sends message asking if I want to allow that app or not. Then after checking the allowed apps, I do not see that game in the list, which means firewall didn't remember the settings.

    Also, I blocked KMPlayer in firewall to prevent it from connecting to internet (it shows too much ads otherwise). So, I created inbound and outbound rules for KMPlayer and blocked the connection. After that, it was all okay for two days, then again it started
    showing ads, and then checking the rules, I didn't notice the rules there which I created two days ago. And this thing keeps happening. I make the inbound and outbound rules for KMPlayer, it stays all okay for a few days, and then it forgets again.

    So, what is wrong with the firewall and what is the solution of it?

    Windows Firewall: Doesn't show blocking rules

    Hello!

    Today I've blocked all connections of a program by creating a outbound rule in Windows Firewall. However, I now wish to remove it. The problem: I can't find that newly created rule anywhere in the list. The rule does take an effect, since deactivating the
    Firewall lets the program run properly. I can only see rules in the list that "allow" stuff, but not those who block things.

    What I have tried so far:

    - All filters set to "Show all" within the Firewall

    - Created the same rule again, doesn't show up

    - Created a rule that allows the program, shows up

    Any solutions?
