• Comodo firewall and Windows Internet not working: Can't re/un-install

  Microsoft Defender is far better as an antivirus, and there are much better 3rd-party firewall options, even though Windows Firewall works just fine. TinyWall is a very low resource whitelist-only front end for Windows Firewall; Portmaster is a comprehensive network firewall. Source: about 1 year ago

  Software firewall for your PC. Windows integrated firewall is not good enough. You can find an app of your choice. Might be tricky to configure, but it should block any apps trying to access something on the internet, unless you specifically allow it. You can try TinyWall (free) or any other app. Source: over 1 year ago

  Sounds like you've fouled up your registry but good. I suggest a repair install with the latest 21H2 ISO. After that you can just block WU with TinyWall by unchecking the box in special exceptions. Just a bit of advice - if you stop messing with the registry, or using apps or scripts that mess with the registry, you most likely will stop having problems with Windows updates.

• Protecting Your Privacy While Using Apple Devices

  Tinywall, or Binisoft Firewall Control are both a graphical interface for the built-in firewall which also have profiles where the connections are automatically blocked and then you get a tooltip where you can decide whether you allow the connection to happen in the future. Both are great pieces of software in my opinion, Binisoft seems to be working better for Windows 10. Source: over 2 years ago
