In Windows Defender FIrewall, if you go to Advanced Settings,in the Rules panel there is a column "Enabled" that can be set Yes or No and another column "Action" that can be set Allow or Blocked. What I said is that my default setting now is "Enabled" set to No and "Action" set to "Allow". I'd assume that for Windows Defender to block ping requests, it should be set to Enabled/YES and Action/Blocked.
