sorry, here it is in the requested format
-
What you did:
I run a couple of apps from a TrueCrypt container. These are not available at system/firewall startup because the container isn’t yet mounted.
When I start some app, firewall shows a popup asking what to do. I select ‘Treat this application as trusted’ + ‘Remember my answer’. -
What actually happened or you actually saw:
When I reboot the system, mount the TrueCrypt container (always as the same drive letter) and start the same app from it, firewall again asks what to do - settings for the app are not remembered.
Once mounted, the TrueCrypt container appears as a local disk in Windows Explorer, not as removable.
This doesn’t happen for apps available at system/firewall startup, like those in \Program Files\
-
What you expected to happen or see:
I expected once entered, settings to be remembered. -
How you tried to fix it & what happened:
Have no idea how to fix it, nothing. -
If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?: N/A
-
Details & exact version of any application (execpt CIS) involved with download link:
It happens for any app not available at system/firewall startup -
Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen:
repeat steps 1 and 2 -
Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
I guess settings for apps not available at firewall startup are ignored. Maybe when the FW reads its config, it checks if the files for which there are rules exist ( and probably their size or something ). If an app isn’t there, rules for it are ignored. If the app later appears, FW doesn’t check again the saved rules but uses those in memory.
Files appended. (Please zip unless screenshots).
