Closed Moonlight79510 closed 6 months ago
Greetings and welcome to our community! As this is the first issue you opened here, we wanted to share some useful infos with you:
@Moonlight79510 this is the first time I heard about this, @dhaavi are we aware of this?
Hey @Moonlight79510, thank you for raising this issue with us.
After a first review we noticed that we will require the Debug Info for further investigation. However, you haven't supplied any Debug Info in your report.
Please collect Debug Info from Portmaster while the reported issue is present.
I manage to launch Portmaster Notifier without Admin authorization by programming a windows task to launch Notifier with a delay. Otherwise, Notifier won't launch at startup.
thanks for the update, I also see that you have quite a lot of network software installed just be aware, that these software might have compatibility issues with each other and Portmaster. Just be mindful of the setting you change in each app.
I uninstalled Comodo and avira before installing Portmaster. Now I only have Kaspersky and Portmaster.
I still see both in the wfp, so you might need to do a reset of the WFP.
To reset the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) on a Windows operating system, which is responsible for network packet processing, you can follow a few different approaches depending on what exactly you want to achieve (like clearing filters, resetting firewall rules, etc.). Here are some general methods:
Restarting the service can help reset the state of the firewall, which uses WFP:
Win + R
.services.msc
and press Enter.Restart
.If you only need to reset firewall rules to their default state, you can do this through the Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security GUI or using command line:
This will reset all the configuration changes made to the firewall:
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and execute:
netsh advfirewall reset
If you want to remove specific filters or clear all filters manually without affecting other configurations:
Use the netsh
command to manipulate filters. For example, to view all filters, you can use:
netsh wfp show filters
To delete specific filters, you would need more specific commands based on what you wish to achieve. It’s good to note that directly manipulating WFP filters usually requires deep technical knowledge of network packet processing.
After a clean installation (1st installation), Portmaster Notifier does not launch when Windows 11 starts up. For this to work, once I'm on the Windows desktop, I need to open Portmaster Notifier with administrator rights, otherwise Portmaster Notifier won't launch. I've uninstalled postmaster and reinstalled, but it's the same problem.
Postmaster launches without any problem and works fine, but Portmaster Notifier doesn't.
