Windows Firewall Control v.6.9.8.0

Change log:

- Improved: Retrieving the group display names uses now shlwapi.dll. This fixes group names with dll names and resource ids.
- Improved: Default option is now the third one in the uninstall dialog. This will leave the firewall rules untouched during uninstall.
- Improved: The speed of importing a *.wpw file was improved by updating the internal cache mechanism.
- Improved: The speed of deleting multiple rules at once was improved.
- Fixed: Can't load language files which have a language code that is not 2 letters.
- Fixed: Experimental feature that auto allows certain paths/file names does not work anymore.
- Fixed: During uninstall restoring default/previous Windows Firewall rules fails if Secure Rules is enabled.
- Fixed: Deleting multiple rules at once may fail if Secure Rules is enabled.
- Fixed: Search functionality may result in a crash in Rules Panel and Connections Log.
- Fixed: Revert profile timer is not updated unless the revert profile is unchecked and checked again.
- Removed: Exporting/importing to/from *.wfw file (Windows Firewall format) was removed due to unreliable results. This still can be done from WFwAS, but not from WFC anymore.
- New: Added translation for Serbian language.

Thanks, I almost missed it, I have been waiting for this bug fix for months. Unless rules were updated, store failed to update and thus every store app as well, not to mention winget.

Windows Firewall Control v.6.9.9.0​

Windows Firewall Control v.6.9.9.0

Change log:

  • Improved: When exporting rules, the sorting order and filters are now preserved in the exported wpw file. On import you get back what was seen in Rules Panel at export time.
  • Improved: The import and the export of the firewall rules are fully async now. This improves the UI responsiveness during these actions.
  • Fixed: When duplicating multiple rules at once, they are created in the reversed order.
  • Fixed: Authorized groups list has a display issue where it displays also the internal group names.
  • Fixed: When creating a duplicate rule in Rules Panel the Please wait message remains displayed and Rules Panel needs to be closed and reopened.
  • Fixed: Secure Rules disables custom groups names in the latest version.
