Windows 10: How to accept/deny connection requests

The best example being bitdefenders ability to popup a notification whenever an inbound/outbound connection is being requested allowing me to deny/allow it. Is their something similar to this built into windows firewall defender?

W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy.

I have tried the following:

1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
   1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
   2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection

My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender)

So - any suggestions?

Laptop not accepting iPhone hotpspot

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Do you see the network (Hotspot) name under available networks?
2. Are you able to connect any other Windows computer with your iPhone?
   
3. When you say ‘I recently upgraded my phone’, do you mean that it is a new device and you are trying to connect it for the first time?

If it is not a new device and you were able to connect your Windows PC with it before it was updated, I would suggest to remove the network from known networks and try to reconnect.



Please get back to us with the information requested above for us to suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.



We look forward for your reply.



Regards,

Prakhar Khare
