topic pretty much covers this, there existing bugs from previous versions. the connection viwer shows nothing and there is zero rule creation happening for outgoing requests. x64 sp 1 and x86 sp 1 this is off a clean install and the latest build.
have you done a clean install?
(that has worked for many users including myself with this very issue.)
uninstalled thorugh add/remove rebooted when prompted and ran registry cleaners to remove any left over entries if any then installed the latest build so idk if theres something being left behind in the localapps folder or something.
