Hi. I have an Asus K53SD with Windows 7. I want to replace my SSD drive and install Windows 10 clean without cloning the old drive.

On a computer with Windows 7 I started the built-in Firewall dialog. Much to my surprise the Firewall does NOT show the full, usual firewall setup dialog but only a part of it. It looks like as the left dialog in the attached snapshot. If I click on the button "Use recommended settings"...

I think it may have been called WordWheelQuery in Windows 7. I skipped 8 and 10 so I don't know if it changed. I've managed to disable search history in WIndows 11. But I'd like to also disable the folder path history as well. Is there a way? Anyone know the regedit entries I need to edit?
