Welcome to the Community Forums.
EDIT: Looks like Daniel got in before me...:D
Are you by any chance using Windows 8/8.1, or have just staryed using this version?
If so then because of the way that MS has changed the way that security apps can communicate/interacter with the built in Windows Firewall these buttons are no longer availble in WSA under that version of Windows.
I am afraid that if that is the case then there is nothing that we can do about this.

+56Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
Did you try a reboot of your PC?
Thanks,
Daniel 😉

+56Sorry I think now I know what your talking about is the Firewall controls so would you be running Win 8.1 or the Win 10 Preview? Please see here why it doesn't show on Win 8.1: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Ideas-Exchange/Outbound-connections-fw-control-in-Win-8-Win-8-1/idi-p/60003 and Kudo the Idea.
Thanks,
Daniel ;)

The firewall in Windows 8 is much easier to work with than previous platforms because of the built in OS controls. Every vendor needs to use the same APIs now (the older methods are deprecated), but that's exactly why we aren't doing it currently - no matter what vendor wraps the APIs, it will be exactly the same underlying calls which are built into the OS, and you can use the OS UI to do the same job if you want to customize it.
The reason why we have the functionality on Windows 7 and not Windows 8 is because Microsoft doesn't expose the same normalized interfaces on Windows 7 (or require vendors to use the new APIs)."
Thanks,
Daniel ;)
