Hi there, since I didnt find anything searching for it: When I start MSFS the win firewall pops up and asking for clearance. Every time, even if granted. On every startup.
Any idea what I can do here? I already “allowed” it in Windows Defender and all the stuff, but it keeps asking…
Thx
Me too {10 characters}
All that you have suggested is already a given for a long time.
MSFS started asking about the firewall 3 days ago but nothing in my setup has changed.
Do you know why?
Thank You.
Windows did also when Asobo/Microsoft pushed (by mistake) the livery update. None since then.
Same here (10 chars)
No vpn.
Done everything else.
As I said this has just started to happen and I’ve not changed anything on pc.
I have a love hate relationship with this game. It’s a perfect window on the world when used together with PSX and WidePSX. But as a flight simulator it’s a toy to anyone seriously into flight simming.
And these constant glitches make it a pain to keep running and updating.
Thank you for your suggestions. Much appreciated but not any solutions.
Looks like its always starting from a different location, I have seen a couple of Driveletters here. C:, D:, H:, Z:\ always followed by a 0 when asking for firewall-passing.
Looks like a windows-app-problem to me, not a MSFS-only-related thing. No idea where it comes from though.
I have a few of these and always “cancel” as I am not granting access to something that is trying to install on a completely different drive to the one I have MSFS 2020 installed on and with an Unknown Publisher.
I even hesitated on joining this forum due the Unverified publisher.
I also get the Windows 10 Defender Firewall window randomly, even though my anti-virus software is not defender, the strange thing is I set the .exe file to communicate on my own private home network and I uncheck public networks then when the message appears again, both check-boxes are checked…
Same issue here, started happening after one of the updates. Drive path seems to change randomly
