    Why does Windows 11 block components in apps that we bought and paid for???


    I purchased an app that I trusted to keep my PC safe from criminals that hack, but Microsoft Windows blocks some components in the app! Is there a way to get around the firewall to allow the app? I have gone to windows security to add the app but that doesn't help, I still get those annoying popups telling me they have blocked them a certain things may not work!

    :)

    Windows Firewall blocks App Store from downloading new apps

    Hi,

    Let's try to check if the app store you're referring to if it's really blocked by Windows Firewall. See these steps:

    • Open Windows Firewall from the taskbar >
      Firewall & network protection
      > Allow an app through firewall.
    • A new window will show up containing the list of the apps that ca be allowed through Firewall.
    • Look for the app you want to be accessed, and make sure that the Domain, Private and Public are ticked. That would allow the app store to be accessed.

    Let us know what happens after doing the suggestion.

    You can block programs using Windows Defender, for example (ignore the strange title):
    Please Wait... | Cloudflare
