Portmaster not registered as firewall in Windows Security Center #1330
Comments
Greetings and welcome to our community! As this is the first issue you opened here, we wanted to share some useful infos with you:
|
Hey there, and thanks for contacting us, this is not a bug. Portmaster is not registering in the wsc. I don't want to be rude, but since this is only about this, I will close this issue, and I ask you to create a new issue if you have another topic. |
Why not? I have a choice between Windows nagging me multiple times per day that I don't have a firewall, or pointlessly enabling Windows Firewall alongside Portmaster to make the messages stop. Both of these make for a garbage experience on Windows. Why is this the intended behavior? |
why does keeping windows firewall active degregate your experience? you can ignore it, and for new users who have not messed with WF this is a much smoother experience as they don't have to go into any settings. |
I found how to disable Windows Firewall through Group Policy. It's the only thing that stops the incessant notifications. It's still enabled for the Domain category, but this seems to be the best workaround available. |
Pre-Submit Checklist:
What happened:
Portmaster didn't register itself as a firewall in the Windows Security Center.
What did you expect to happen?:
Portmaster registered as firewall in the Windows Security Center.
How did you reproduce it?:
• Windows Security - Firewall & network protection - Manage providers - only Windows Firewall is listed in the Firewall section.
• The "Windows Known Issues" page linked in this bug report template doesn't actually list any known issues. It does say however that a registry entry is created at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID{7F00FB48-65D5-4BA8-A35B-F194DA7E1A51}\LocalServer32 in order to integrate with the Windows Notification Center. I have no such CLSID key in the registry.
