    Windows Firewall rules: how to find out what created them?


    Hello everyone, quick question: is there an easy way to know which process/application has created a Windows Firewall rule? I monitor the rules fairly often and some programs auto-create rules without asking, so this info would help. Tried to look at the Event Viewer but it's too confusing and couldn't find something there.

    :)

    And please use TechNet and MSDN as your support for Enterprise versions which have quite a few different settings and considerations compared to consumer versions.

    Windows 10 Firewall is not saving my custom rules

    Hi

    I've been having this problem from a week ago and can't find a solution.

    I need to create a custom rule to allow a single program through windows 10 firewall, I've been using the option to "allow a program through firewall", the rule is created and I accept the changes, but then if I close the firewall option's window and reopen
    it, the rule is missing again.

    click on start button then type: firewall, select Windows Defender Firewall with advanced security. Click on inbound/outbound, you'll see the list.

    Thanks topgundcp, that list only shows (I think) the program for which the rule applies, not the program that created the rule. Sometime these two do not coincide. There's a column that wasn't enabled by default that looked promising ("Rule Source") but all it mentions is 'Local Setting'.

    The answer is in this Event Viewer category: Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Windows Firewall With Advanced Security/Firewall
