Does anyone know how to get to Win 10 Firewall exceptions?
I need to add and remove certain exceptions but I cannot find out how to get there. Can anyone help please.

I have done that. There is no link to 'exceptions' as on other versions of windows.
I haven't used Windows 10, therefore I'm not sure how useful my post is going to be to you and whether it's still relevant. However, if Windows 10 is anything like Windows 8 then you'll be able to access/modify Windows Firewall rules through MMC Console.
1) Start Button > Search for 'MMC Console'.
2) In MMC Console go to File > Add/Remove Snap-in > Select Windows Firewall With Advanced Security and add it.
3) Then File > 'Save as' and save the *.msc somewhere (E.G Save to Desktop as 'MMC Console.msc', then you can run it again later without having to add the Windows Firewall Snap-in again)
Thank you for your effort but win 10 does not recognise the command 'mmc console'.
See if this helps - the wording has changed between Win7 and Win8, but the functionality is the same.

Found it and thank you.
Noticed I have an app name like *.scottrade.com there and tried to add another like *.ameritrade.com but could not accomplish this. It wants to be linked to a specific file but this does not cover other links that Ameritrade uses. That is why I wanted to use *. in front of the site name. Do you know how to do this or am I on the wrong track?
