Missing "Predefined Firewall Policies"

[Guest]

[risk]

Just earlier my Comodo Firewall (version 3.10) stopped responding so I force ended its process.  But after restarting it again, I noticed that the Predefined Firewall Policies are missing, even after a Windows restart.

Is there a way to restore these Predefined Firewall Policies without reinstalling the Firewall application itself?

Welcome to the forum risk.

Unfortunately I don't know of any way to independently restore these polices. You could try running Diagnostics from the Misc tab to see what it reports.

Thanks, Toggie.

I did run the Diagnostics.  It reported that there aren't any problems with my installation.

Would anyone be so kind to post the settings for these Predefined Firewall Policies so I can manually define/re-create them?

Hi risk,

I posted the images below

At the same time this bug with disappeared Predefined Policies was  reported long ago and I don't remember whether there was a solution found. One of the examples is here:

Attached are Firewall ones, since you requested those.
As you can see, in the thread referred the Defense+ Policies were gone as well.

Sure you may try to recreate those, but I would suggest clean reinstall because you may not see what else is wrong.

In addition it would be helpful for developers if you provide more details about your system (OS, Service Pack; platform...); other security Software you are running; etc. and maybe you can recall something specific like circumstances when that may've happened.

My regards

Your post is much appreciated, SiberLynx.

I had thought of reinstalling Comodo, but it worries me that doing so would require the freshly installed firewall to "re-learn" from scratch the custom policies/settings I've already set for my existing applications.

You are welcome, risk.

Please use Export feature for saving your settings.
My bad,  I should've mentioned that in the first place, in context with reinstallation...
but  you can try recreating those ... and use Export / Import  in the future.

Cheers
