Windows 7 - Preventing installers from creating firewall rules

| | Preventing installers from creating firewall rules I've noticed that some applications (the only one I remember is Steam, but I think some Ubisoft game did it with 'Ubisoft Launcher') automatically create in- and sometimes outbound firewall rules (I'm talking about Windows 7 Firewall, not some 3rd party one) without any user interaction. So the question is: how to stop them from doing that? Is there a way to allow only user (preferably Administrator) to create rules manually? Thanks in advance  |

| | Okay my brain isn't working this morning, however, I remember fixing this for someone before. I'm pretty confident it involved a group policy change. I'm only telling you that as it should help refine any searching you do. be careful messing with group policy and create a restore point before doing it though. |
