Windows 10: Windows Firewall allow app won't open

Hello, when I try to click on the "allow an app through firewall" option within my firewall settings nothing happens.

I click on it and even after waiting multiple minutes nothing pops up, not even the loading icon.

I am the owner and thus admin of the laptop and have access to all settings, but this one remains closed to me.

Opening the advanced settings is the only option possible for me.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Windows Firewall blocks App Store from downloading new apps

Hi,

Let's try to check if the app store you're referring to if it's really blocked by Windows Firewall. See these steps:

• Open Windows Firewall from the taskbar >
  Firewall & network protection > Allow an app through firewall.
• A new window will show up containing the list of the apps that ca be allowed through Firewall.
• Look for the app you want to be accessed, and make sure that the Domain, Private and Public are ticked. That would allow the app store to be accessed.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestion.
