Windows 10: Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features on networks.

A Windows box popped up saying:

Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of Host Process for Setting Synchronization on all public and private networks. Choose: Allow Access or Cancel. There are two boxes a) private networks and b) public networks. There's a check mark in Public networks.

What to do??
