The Windows 10 native Firewall provides security to your PC from malicious apps accessing your network. Whenever any app tries to access the network, you will get a notification dialog from the Firewall, where you can either allow or block the app from accessing the network.
For users that no longer want to give any app access to the network, this notification can be annoying. In Windows 10 disable Firewall notifications if you are one of those users. But how to do it? In this article, I have given a detailed explanation on how to disable Firewall notifications in Windows 10.
