Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app?

Please anyone knows the meaning of this dialog box, that started to appear lately, everytime I launch Microsoft Flight Simulator

MSFS

You need to tick the private box. Assuming you’re not going to use the sim in a public network (which I doubt), untick the other.

As mentioned above, select the private box, and “Allow Access”.
The sim is streamed to you over the net, and Windows Defender will not allow this until you do.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Even after ticking the “private box” is this supposed to continue poping-up, everytime I launch the sim?

It never has for me.

Search ‘Firewall.’ Open ‘Windows Defender Firewall.’

Click on “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.”

Scroll down to ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ and make sure ‘Private’ is checked.
