    Windows Firewall is blocking access to the internet


    For context: I used to work from home, the company I worked for sent me the laptop to use. When my employment ended with them I repeatedly tried to contact them to arrange returning the laptop. I emailed, and left multiple messages, and never got a response back. I did speak with a lawyer and they said as long as I have proof that I tried to contact them about returning it, then I couldn't be in trouble legally. I've had this laptop for almost 2 years now. Recently it has stopped connecting to the internet. I ran the troubleshooter, and it says Windows firewall is blocking the internet. Should

    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.
