Windows 10 Windows Firewall keeps asking for permissions

[eXtremeDevil]

This happens every time I reboot. Windows Firewall asks me for letting an app through. I have granted the access before, but WF doesn't seem to remember. Also, the path is very strange:

What may be happening? Thanks!

That shouldn't really matter, Windows dynamically keeps track of the disks and the Letter assignment is simply a logical assignment and the letter to physical is maintained as symbolic links

That's what I'm taking about, what is wrong in there to mix up drives, satas and firewalls?? Because when I changed B to A the path was A:0\...

That's because Windows would of updated the symlink. You can see them with WinObj from sysinternals.

How can I check that?? I'm interested.

OK got it, any specific path on that app I should check?

They will be under device harddisk# and GLOBAL?? you want to select File > Run As Administrator since some of the info won't show otherwise

I see, I will take a closer look. Any way of manually refresh those links? So it doesn't happen again?

Unfortunately no it's handled internally in the kernel

OK then, thanks for all the help and info!
