    Most powerful method of resetting Windows Firewall?


    I'm trying to find out why MS Flight Sim is unable to connect to the Xbox servers on my Windows 10 PC. I have Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control installed and have allowed MSFS connections. As a first test I will uninstall MWFC and then reset Windows Firewall and see if the issue is fixed. I know I can go to Settings and Restore Defaults for the Firewall, but is there a Powershell command that is more powerful than this to clean the Windows firewall deeper? Thanks

    Hi antares,

    Alas, I do not know the answer to this exactly, but I have begun a Google search for you which as shown some likely candidates worth a looksee. It seems to be a pretty common issue, so perhaps one or more of these lines of enquiry will help you to bolt down a solution. I hope so, and best wishes for that.

    Kind regards,
