Windows Defender Firewall no longer allows remote management after upgrading to Windows Server 2025 (Server Core edition) on any system. It was working on Windows Server 2022 before the upgrade. I'm receiving the error below. All the suggestions do not resolve the issue. I've also manually updated the firewall rule on the system using powershell and still get this error.
