Maybe - but personally I don't know much about that. I will PM you a guide that I used to set up windows but the more of it you apply the more likely that windows cumulative updates will fail.
I don't know what Firewall you use but if you are brave enough to try Comodo Free Firewall (which needs some attention on setup and configuration) you can leave it on "Custom Ruleset" and it will alert on every connection with options to allow or deny along with "Remember my choice" so you can create rules for safe applications and create blocking rules for the rest.
If you are really paranoid you can remap routing table:
