Windows 10: Windows firewall not logging packets

I need to troubleshoot firewall but it doesn't generate logs.
I use firewall policy from local group policy and logging is enabled there.

things I tried so far:
change log file path to E:/logs/firewall_log.txt
create file manually

:)

 

Windows Firewall drop but don't record the packet discarded.

Hi, Fabio

We certainly want to get this taken care of, please follow the instructions on how to configure the Windows Firewall log:

1. Open the Group Policy Management Console to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

2. In the details pane, in the Overview section, click Windows Firewall Properties.

3. For each network location type (Domain, Private, Public), perform the following steps.



a. Click the tab that corresponds to the network location type.



b. Under Logging, click Customize.



c. The default path for the log is %windir%\system32\logfiles\firewall\pfirewall.log. If you want to change this, clear the Not configured check box and type the path to the new location, or click Browse to select a file location.



Important

The location you specify must have permissions assigned that permit the Windows Firewall service to write to the log file.



d. The default maximum file size for the log is 4,096 kilobytes (KB). If you want to change this, clear the Not configured check box, and type in the new size in KB, or use the up and down arrows to select a size. The file will not grow beyond this size;
when the limit is reached, old log entries are deleted to make room for the newly created ones.



e. No logging occurs until you set one of following two options:

*To create a log entry when Windows Firewall drops an incoming network packet, change Log dropped packets to Yes.

*To create a log entry when Windows Firewall allows an inbound connection, change Log successful connections to Yes.



f. Click OK twice.

Regards.

 

Best free AV and firewall

Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.
