    Adding firewall rules


    I am trying to get Windows 10 mail app to work, going through the firewall, using "Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control" .
    I have gotten instructions from the program maker to do this:

    Problem: Windows Mail can't synchronize folders:
    This applies to Windows 10 while Medium Filtering profile is used in Windows Firewall Control.
    1. To allow the Windows Mail application to connect and synchronize your email accounts, you must create anoutbound rule for svchost.exe.
    2. To send an email you have to create an outbound rule for: C:\programfiles\windowsapps\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6002.42251.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\h xmail.exe

    Not sure where to or how to include that in the firewall rules in the included image..

    Windows 10 Firewall won't keep my inbound/outbound rules

    Hi,

    I suggest you to restart the Windows firewall service and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps for the same.

    • Press Windows key + R simultaneously for Run.
    • Type services.msc and then Enter.
    • Right click on the Windows firewall services and then restart the services and check if it helps.
    If the issue still persists then I suggest you to remove and then read the Windows fire wall rule.

    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?
