In this window I've enabled both options for logging.

The log file does not show anything AND the Properties in the "Monitoring" Tab show this:

(Even after rebooting)

    Hi！

    Thanks for posting here.

    I’ve been testing the feature you mentioned and I think it works fine, so I think we would need to check this on your Windows. Is your computer domain-joined or not? Since a domain-joined computer might have been controlled by the organization, we would need to ask the administrator to make this setting if it is the case. If your computer is not domain-joined, then I think we can try to reset Windows Firewall’s settings, open Command Prompt as administrator, type the following command and press ENTER:

    netsh advfirewall reset

    You can also use this under PowerShell:

    (New-Object -ComObject HNetCfg.FwPolicy2).RestoreLocalFirewallDefaults()

    After this, please reboot your computer and try again.

    I hope this will help us to fix the problem, if not, please feel free to let me know and we would have a further discussion.

    Best Regards,
