    Hi ,

    Did you have any third party software installed? It looks like there is a third-party AV software preventing the modification from being saved.

    First check the installed third party software or do a clean boot and then see if you can save the configuration on firewall.

    Best Regards,

    Candy

    Yes. Firewall is controlled by AV software after checked.
