Windows 10 Can we firewall a program in windows 10?

Hi,

Can I use the windows 10 firewall to firewall specific programs so they cannot get internet access? Thanks in advance.

Yes
Windows Defender Firewall > Advanced > Outbound rule
Then just select the exe and on the next screen select Block

in many ways turning it off is the harder part

On a sidenote, I guess from your username you are a fan of Star Trek? Well if so I am too..

Same. I've met William Shatner, George Takei, Brent Spiner, Kate Mulgrew, John de Lancie and Wil Wheaton

yes I'm a Treky but the user name comes from Downbelow_Station which is older than Star Trek

I just mean Microsoft has a bad habit of resetting any firewall settings to default [i.e, block] anytime they run their upgrades

Wow, so did you meet them at those conventions then? I never went to one. What do you get to see at them?
Seems to me all the actors of StarTrek in virtually all series gave up on acting after getting fame, whi I think is kinda sad.

I only seen a few films or TV shows featuring Brent Spiner (Independence day, phenomenon) , John De Lanie (The West Wing, Breaking Bad) and Wil Wheaton (some submarine film?). I don't think I've seen Kate or Jonathan Frakes in anything after ST.

as in, the new Star Trek show on Netflix: as I said isn't well done... too much VFX and no story for my taste

I use a small program called Firewall App Blocker which adds programs to the Windows firewall.

Firewall App Blocker (Fab) v1.9

With Firewall App Blocker (FAB) you can Quickly allow or deny apps access to the internet through Windows Firewall. It is portable freeware
