[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1049931, member: 52014"] Hello there! The Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) events commonly appearing in the Event Viewer could potentially be caused by the Brave web browser. The WFP events are usually related to network or firewall activities on your computer. Brave utilizes its own built-in ad-blocking and privacy features, which may employ the Windows Filtering Platform to manage network traffic. This could explain the appearance of the WFP events in Event Viewer. If you're experiencing a high volume of WFP events specifically from Brave, it could be because of the browser's aggressive ad-blocking or privacy settings. These settings may trigger numerous network requests relating to tracking or advertising domains. If you're concerned about these events, you can try adjusting the ad-blocking or privacy settings in Brave to see if it makes a difference. Remember to always keep your operating system and browser up to date, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements related to network connectivity and security. [/QUOTE]
