Restore Windows Firewall settings

If you've changed some Windows Firewall settings and you want to undo your changes, you can restore the firewall settings to the original (default) settings.


  1.  clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.

  2. In the left pane, click Restore defaults. http://res2.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/windows%207/main/18abb370-ac1e-4b6b-b663-e028a75bf05b_48.jpg If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. In the dialog box that appears, click Restore defaults. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.

Hi Dismis123

 

Welcome to the Community Fora....:):)

 

Please note that a reset is quite a radical solution as it will remove ALL firewall settings that have been configured on ALL networks locations, and that may stop some programs that were previously working to now not work, etc.

 

Depending on how computer savvy you are you can also use the Advanced Settings option and search for and remove the offending rule (that was created by the inadvertent acceptance of the popup)...but obviously you need to know what you are looking for in terms of the culprit app.

 

If you do not have that information then the only option you have is that suggested by Petr.

 

Hope that assists further?

 

Regards

 

 

Baldrick
