Windows 10: Microsoft Windows firewall alert!

Microsoft Windows Firewall Alert!

Windows Firewall Alerts Problem

I've been noticing this, and it only started in the past few days. Perhaps some update from Microsoft.

And in my case, I'm only using Defender, so it's particularly odd.

So I did a quick search in Windows Settings, and found the following.

• Open Control Panel
• Open Windows Firewall and click "Allow an app or feature..." in the sidebar
• Click "Change Settings" (requires admin privileges)
• If Google Chrome (and any other programs where this is happening) is on the list, check it.
• If a program isn't listed, click "Allow another app..." at the bottom, and navigate to the respective .exe file.

Unfortunately, even after doing that, and rebooting, the alert is still coming up for me. So, something else seems to be at play here.

Best free AV and firewall

Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.

 

Windows Firewall security alert keeps popping up.

Hello,

Windows Firewall plays an important part in helping to protect your computer against virus and security threats. Your concern is cause by a conflicting changes in your security settings. However we suggest that you turn off Security messages for Network
firewall temporarily to check if the issue persists. Follow these steps:

• Click Start menu.
• Type Control Panel.
• Choose System and Security > Security and Maintenance.
• On the left side, click Change Security and Maintenance settings.
• Uncheck the box on the left side of Network firewall.
• Restart your computer.

After an hour, enable Network firewall again. We also recommend that you use another browser and check if the issue persists.

Note: If you disable Windows Firewall for a long period of time, your computer will be more vulnerable to unauthorized access to your network.

Thanks.
