Stop programs from editing Windows Firewall

So I having a program (Warframe) that is able to modify the windows firewall as it wish, delete everything, add anything. And I don't want a program to modify the firewall however it want. I believe that it gain the ability to do so because I'm on a admin account. I haven't given the program admin, but just because I'm on a admin account is enough.

I'm using Windows Firewall Control (WFC) and know that an old version can block every change that is not made by it. But was removed in newer version, and rather not use old version. But I must be able to block programs to change the firewall as it wish?

I know I can block everything from changing the Firewall, but I rather not do that.

I just don't want some random program be able to disable my firewall. Kinda makes the firewall pointless.

Has the functionality of Secure Profile and Secure Rules changed in the latest version, because in the latest Pdf help file it says ;

Secure Prifile:
In Windows, a software executed with administrative privileges can import a custom policy file and modify outbound and inbound filtering settings of the firewall, or can even disable Windows Firewall. Windows Firewall Control can prevent these external changes.

Secure Rules:

Windows Firewall Control is notified when a new firewall rule is added and can delete or disable any unauthorized rule that is being added by other programs.

Do these not work as before ?

In 5.4.1.0 it could block programs from modifying the firewall, but that feature was removed as it could cause problems.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

So I'm still trying to block random programs from editing the firewall, and the creator of WFC said this,

If you are using an administrator account, if you launch a software it will be executed usually under your administrator account and will have administrative privileges. In Windows any software that has administrative privileges can change Windows Firewall rules and settings. If you use WFC 5.3.1.0 you can block this software messing up with your firewall rules. Secure Rules from version 5.3.1.0 removes the permission in Windows Registry so that only WFC can add/modify/remove rules. Other programs, including Windows Store, the operating system, any software executed with admin privileges, etc, will fail changing your rules because they will not have the required permissions.

So that means I can change the registry to only allow WFC to change it right?

Does anyone know where I can do that?

Have you looked under : Main WFC Panel > Security Tab ? There should be 'tickable' options for Secure Boot, Secure Profile, and Secure Rules. ( See the latest Malwarebytes-WFC-User-Guide.pdf for more details ).
