It will provide answers to a lot of questions related to Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control and Windows Firewall. If you will not find anĪnswer to your question here, you can send an email with your questions to your question is related to Windows Firewall Control, then check the new user guide. How would I properly configure the Windows Firewall in the context of Windows Firewall Control to allow both the Windows Store and Windows Updates? Google sadly doesn't help much and mostly refers to third-party firewalls.Īll I found out myself so far is that most of these processes and connections are handled by svchost.exe but blanket-allowing it doesn't seem like a proper solution.The aim of this section is to answer to some of the questions that were received in the past years on forums and email. Now like said I'm just a casual home user but I still would like to learn how to properly handle these things since I often get asked by acquaintances to maintain their PCs and if someone actually requests a tighter firewall security one day I would have the needed knowledge already Only when I disabled strict filtering Windows Update updated as normal. Similarly Windows Updates also seem blocked, on Thursday I was wondering why I won't receive the new Insider Build, Windows Update only showed "You're up to date" with no error and no dialog to allow access. If strict filtering is enabled it seems the Microsoft Store can't connect to the internet and no dialog is displayed to allow it through the firewall. Now I don't really need something like this on my gaming PC but as I'm fairly interested in such things by nature I thought I would give it a whirl and it run fairly straightforward aside from two issues:

It allows for the Windows Firewall to block all outbound traffic for programs by default and then shows a dialog asking for permission. In that context I came across the app Windows Firewall Control by Malwarebytes: I'm currently running the Windows 11 Developer Preview on a separate SSD on my gaming PC and as it's a testing OS at the current state anyhow I decided I would try out a few things I otherwise wouldn't.
