    Enable/Disable Firewall Rules for 'Application Packages' using CMD?


    Hi all,

    I'm trying to use the CMD prompt command

    Netsh AdvFirewall Firewall SET RULE name="name" NEW...


    I'm trying to configure the Firewall Rules associated with the application packages found in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps".

    However, for some reason, the usual CMD syntax to SET an existing firewall rule simply returns the error:

    No rules match the specified criteria

    This used to work in older versions of Windows 10. However, it doesn't work in Version 1909.

    Can someone explain how to use CMD Prompt to configure the pre-existing Firewall Rules that apply to Windows Apps?

    :)

    I realise you asked for how to use cmd prompt and I do not know yet the answer to that, but could you not establish the new rule using settings and the provided method as per my screenshot
    Settings - update and security - windows security - on main pane Firewall and network protection and then scroll to advanced settings

    Enable/Disable Firewall Rules for 'Application Packages' using CMD?

    Windows Firewall blocking program even with inbound/outbound rule enabled.

    Windows firewall is like a fart when you have squirty dumplings, you shouldn't really trust it.


    Disable the private network firewall, if the application works fine do this.

    Open a CMD prompt window with admin rights. type in "netstat" without the quotes and press enter. You should get a list of what IP and port is connecting to what port and or service. Open those ports for the application, or just allow those ports to be unfiltered.
