  1. Windows Defend change settings button not opening Windows Explorer


    Good day everyone. I am trying to allow a file through the windows defender firewall. The steps below are what I am taking to do so:- I open windows defender- select "Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall"- Click on "Change settings"From here I understand that a file explorer is supposed to open so I may select the file I was to allow. However, nothing opens on my screen. I run Task Manager and I see that the firewall is attempting to open the explorer, but nothing pops up on my screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
