How to Find and Use the Windows 10 Firewall
What to Know
- Change firewall settings under Windows Defender Settings.
- You can manually block programs, opt to let apps pass data through the firewall, and/or turn off the firewall completely under settings.
- Settings marked with a blue-and-gold shield require an administrator-level password to access.
Why and How to Access Firewall Options
Manually block a program that’s allowed by default, such as Microsoft Tips or Get Office. When you block these programs you, in essence, disable them. If you’re not a fan of the reminders you get to buy Microsoft Office, or if the tips are distracting, you can make them disappear.

Opt to let apps pass data through your computer that aren’t permitted by default. This customization often occurs with third-party apps you install like iTunes because Windows requires your permission to allow both installation and passage. But, the features can also be Windows-related such as the option to use Hyper-V to create virtual machines or Remote Desktop to access your computer remotely.
Turn off the firewall completely. Do this if you opt to use a different vendor's security suite, like the anti-virus programs offered by McAfee or Norton. This frequently ships as a free trial on new PCs and users often sign up. You should also disable the Windows Firewall if you’ve installed an alternative.
Don’t disable the Windows Defender Firewall unless you have another one in place, and don't run several firewalls at the same time.
Change Windows Firewall Settings
When you’re ready to make changes to Windows Firewall, type Windows Defender in the Search area of the Taskbar then select Windows Defender Settings from the list.

From the Windows Defender Firewall area, you can do several things. The option to Turn Windows Firewall On or Off is in the left pane. It’s a good idea to check here every now and then to see if the firewall is indeed enabled. Some malware, should it get by the firewall, can turn it off without your knowledge. Simply click to verify and then use the back arrow to return to the main firewall screen. You can also restore the defaults if you’ve changed them. The option Restore Defaults, again in the left pane, offers access to these settings.
How to Allow an App Through the Windows Defender Firewall
When you allow an app in Windows Defender Firewall you choose to allow it to pass data through your computer based on whether you’re connected to a private network or a public one, or both. If you select only Private for the allow option, you can use the app or feature when connected to a private network, such as one in your home or office. If you choose Public, you can access the app while connected to a public network, such as a network in a coffee shop or hotel. As you’ll see here, you can also choose both.
1. Open the Start menu, and locate Start Defender Security Center. Select it.
2. When the security center opens, select Firewall & network protection.
3. You'll arrive on the firewall page. Near the bottom, there will be a few options displayed less prominently in smaller font. From them, select Allow an App Through Firewall.

4. The next screen you see will contain a large table of apps on your system. Each will have two check boxes next to it.
5. Locate the app to allow. It won’t have a check mark beside it.
6. Select the checkbox(es) to allow the entry. There are two options Private and Public. Start with Private only and select Public later if you don’t get the results you want.
7. Press OK.
How to Block a Program with the Windows Defender Firewall
The Windows Firewall allows some Windows 10 apps and features to pass data into and out of a computer without any user input or configuration. These include Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Photos, and necessary features like Core Networking and Windows Defender Security Center. Other Microsoft apps like Cortana might require you to give your explicit permissions when you first use them, though. This approval opens the required ports in the firewall, among other things. You can withdraw your consent to bypass the firewall, however.
