Windows 10: Windows Defender Firewall Security Alert

I got a Windows Security Alert Saying Windows Defender Firewallhas blocked some features of Google Chrome on all public private networks.

Name: Google Chrome

Says:

This app has already been blocked or unblocked for a different network type.

Allow Google Chrome to communicate on these networks:


Then the Public networks, such as those in airports and coffee shops not recommended b/c these networks often have little or no security is already selected then I have the option to allow access or cancel.

I don't know what to choose???? Actually it won't let me select anything else. Should I allow access??

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.

• Click Start.
• Type Windows Defender Security Center and press Enter.
• Click Firewall and network protection.
• Click Private (discoverable) network and click On.
