I can not download windows images as long as the firewall is enabled

GlassWire Help
1

Whenever i run the media creation tool from microsoft on my pc it fails to open. When i disable the glasswire firewall ist runs as intended.

And before you ask, no i do not block the media creation tool in the firewall. Even if i give access to everything what is listed it does not work. Once i swich off the glasswire firewall entirely it works fine.

pls help me to resolve this issue

best wishes

Morris

I suspect it will be a similar issue to Adobe CC. It downloads a secondary app to a temporary folder which is blocked. The name of the temporary folder is randomised and so changes each time. The only (unsatisfactory) solution is to temporarily disable the firewall.
