[QUOTE="Syrinx, post: 862324, member: 84969"] If you truly want to control the default windows firewall and you have a pro or higher edition of Windows I strongly suggest you use the Group Policy version instead. Particularly if you are on windows 10. There are options in there that allow you to disable the application of standard firewall rules via 'Apply local firewall rules' and setting it to NO. Using Group Policy this was allows you to have a type of 'secure rules'. If anything you install or have installed tries to create firewall rules they will be allowed to do so but they won't get applied. This is great if you have any MS Store Apps (AppX/Metro) as they make their own rules upon every install/update along with a growing number of normal softwares ^^ [/QUOTE]
