Hello esteemed Microsoft family

I have a question regarding windows firewall.

As you can see below there are 2 rules in surveilance tab which are green(allowed)

For those that don't speak my language they translate as: Shared Internet Access

Is there a particular reason why are those two always green?

And how can i change those?

It says image inserted successfully but i'm not sure if you can see it.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Security and privacy

    Those 2 rules ARE NOT in either inbound or outbound

    As i said before they are in 'surveilance tab"

    So microsoft won't let me alter them?

    Fyi this is a huge secuirty and privacy vulnerability

    Hi ΒΡΑΣΙΔΑΣ

    If you want to edit or delete those rules, find them in the Inbound or Outbound roles section on the left and that is where you can manage them from, but if that breaks something in Windows, you do that at your own risk!

    That does not answer my question.

    Furthermore i don't want to share anything.

    I want to change those but it won't let me.

    There's also the security concern.

    So is it possible to change those and how?

    Hi ΒΡΑΣΙΔΑΣ ΠΟΥΛΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Those two processes are legitimate Widows processes that are for settings in Windows like the the Hotspot function and other sharing between devices, you should not change those two, that is the way they are set by Windows and they do not pose any threat to your PC.
