  4. Windows is not allowing me to download programs directly to my SSD

    Problem allowing program through firewall in Windows 10.

    Hello Andrew,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:


    • Does the issue persists with a particular program?

    • Did you check if you are facing similar issue when you allow other programs through the firewall?


    I suggest you to check if similar issue persists if you allow other program to allow through the firewall and when on reboot the program is disabled.



    If the issue persists, I suggest you to contact the program developer and check with the program settings.



    Write back to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
