How to set to allow apps to pass through Windows 10 firewall -Windows Security Settings
Windows 10 has a number of security features to protect users' computers and data from unauthorized access, malware and other attacks, including a powerful built-in firewall called
Windows Defender Firewall.
Sometimes, firewalls prevent trusted applications from accessing the Internet, but on Windows 10, it is easy to change the settings to manually allow applications to pass through the firewall.
Although
Windows Defender Firewall does a good job of managing which applications and functions are allowed to connect through the network, it may sometimes be necessary to manually allow or deny applications.
Set to allow apps to pass through Windows 10 firewall
1. Press the
Windows+I shortcut key to open "Settings".
2. Select
Update &Security / Windows Security to open the
Windows Security Center.
3. Click
Firewall &Network Protection.
4. Click the "
Allow apps to pass through the firewall" link to open the
Windows Defender Security Center firewall settings.
5. Click the "
Change Settings" button.
6. Check the applications or functions that are allowed to pass through the firewall.
Quick tip: If the application is not in the list, click the Allow Another Applications button to find the application you want to allow.
7. Check the Network type that the application can access:
Private: Allows applications to access the network at home or in the workplace.
Public: Allows applications to access the network in public places, such as coffee shops.
8. Click OK.
After completing these steps, the application can now freely access the network.
If you want to block applications through a firewall, you can follow the same instructions, but in step 6, make sure that you clear the check mark for the application or feature that you want to deny access to the network.

1. Select Start Button>Settings>Update and Security>Windows Security Center, and then click "Firewall and Network Protection".

Air Printer requires Apple Bonjour Kit
> The Air Printer requires an Apple Bonjour Kit network driver, which also requires firewall settings:
The Bonjour networking protocol sends and receives network packets on UDP port 5353.
The Bonjour installer will configure the Windows firewall appropriately during installation on supported systems, but if you have a separate "personal firewall" enabled, you will need to ensure that UDP port 5353 is open for Bonjour to work correctly.
