Hi anyone know how to get back that yellow triangle for prompts ,fortfirewall is blocking me from internet ,had to uninstall. Just want to go back to the yellow prompts .Thks
ok Nevermind new version fixed it.

 

[tnodir]

@blueblackwow65 Please install v3.8.2
If it still blocks, then:
- uninstall it
- remove "C:\ProgramData\Fort Firewall\" and "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Fort Firewall\" folders
- install latest version (v3.8.2 now)

Hi. No, it’s not normal.

Can you please show screenshot of the error? Which Windows version, 32/64 bit? Which Fort’s installer, 32/64 bit?

You can try to uninstall it, restart computer and install again.

 

[blueblackwow65]

I shut down the computer after that ,it seems to be ok but i can re-install and see ,just that i will lose all my allows.Is there a backup option for that to keep settings /config? Thks

 

[tnodir]

Is there a backup option for that to keep settings /config?

Not yet.

You can copy folders:
- %ProgramData%/Fort Firewall/
- %LocalAppData%/Fort Firewall/

Backup them after uninstall and replace before installation.

Do not confirm "Delete data & config folders?" on uninstall.

Ok Thks ,I also have noticed my computer will not boot some times to desktop i have to use the restart button ,i noticed this after installing fortfirewall.

 

[tnodir]

I also have noticed my computer will not boot some times to desktop i have to use the restart button

What do you mean? Auto-login on startup?

What FFw's "Self Protection" options do you use?

 

[blueblackwow65]

No self protection and what i mean is it will not go to desktop it sits there and i need to just press the reset button ,this has happened many times since i installed the software. I tested without FF and all was good.

Can you please get a video or screenshot?

 

[blueblackwow65]

Can you please get a video or screenshot?

Not for that it's at the beginning of starting up the computer ,it just sits before the windows logo comes on .

 

[tnodir]

it just sits before the windows logo comes on

It's weird. I believe, FFw's driver runs after windows logo animation..
