Simplewall: Simplewall not working

[rayman3003]

Simplewall 2.3.8
Windows 10 x64 Pro 1803

simplewall_error.log

Recently "Simplewall" shows an error log, every time it starts & also "Simplewall" stops blocking or showing warning message for any new app that wants to connect to internet.

I tried reinstalling the new (2.3.8) or previous older versions (2.3.7 - 2.3.6 - 2.3.5), But it didn't helped.

The log file has been attached.

Please help.

Windows Defender enabled? Any AV installed?

Windows Defender enabled? Any AV installed?

My Anti-Virus is "360 Total Security". "Windows Defender" disabled automatically after installing "360 Total Security".

Note: I can add softwares to simplewall manually to make them block or allow to internet, But only manually.

Sounds like your AV is the problem.
With Windows Defender everything works

[rayman3003]

Sounds like your AV is the problem.

Maybe u r right. But whats the solution?

[henrypp]

I think it happens because your AV block access to WFP for simplewall, maybe need add SW to whitelist in AV settings!

But I already did that before & it didn't helped:

Then deactivate or deinstall your AV

What is for checkbox? Maybe you miss something?

Deactivating the AV won't help.
Deinstalling the AV, is not a good solution.

What is for checkbox? Maybe you miss something?

Checkbox is for removing the app from Trust List of AV.

I uninstalled my AV ("360 Total Security"), But still get the same error. So the error is nothing to do with my AV.
Still waiting for solution.

I earlier faced the issue, I reinstalled but with importing apps and rules, which didn't solved the problem. Then tried reinstalling without importing and everything worked fine. Also empty the directory.
(Install latest version-2.3.13)

I think maybe this problem occurs bcuz of the huge numbers of blocked & allowed apps in the simplewall, Bcuz I have added so many apps to the simplewall. Lets say if I remove all apps & rules, the simplewall gets back to normal; But what happens again if I add these apps & rules after some weeks again? The error will be back again?

[TontyTon]

No I don't think so, because there are more apps on my list than earlier and everything working fine.

OK, I uninstalled simplewall, Cleaned the registry & then reinstalled the simplewall. (2.3.13 last version)
But still from the first clean start of simplewall (0-app), It shows the same error.

So the error & problem has nothing to do with my added apps or my preferred settings of simplewall.

Enable skip uac prompt warning in settings>General, or start Simplewall (SW) as administrator for now.

[Clear the log file(make a backup if you want to), this will make easy for you to find latest errors]

"skip uac prompt warning" was always enabled.
I ran the "simplewall" with "run as admin" from yesterday, But still get the error.

One other thing that I must mention:

Each time that I plug-in a usb device (flash drive - optical usb drive - ...) to my pc, simplewall shows the error log notification.

Here is the last error log file:

I think 360 (or someone else) is corrupt access rights for write into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE\Parameters\Policy and need reset access rights for this key and all subkeys

This is the screenshot of the reg key u r mentioning. What I must to do?

I already said that "360 security" has been uninstalled. Also I tried "simplewall+360 security" on another PC & simplewall worked perfect without problem there.

Another security app that I'm using is an adblocker app named "Adguard".

In 2.4.x versions security information for WFP internals are reworked and, i think, this is better to get test latest 2.4.3 version!

Thank u that u r still trying helping me.
I installed the last version (2.4.3), But still my problem exists! :(

Update: My problem solved.

I upgrade my Windows 10 from build 1803 to 1809, And now Simplewall works without a problem.

Simplewall is awesome.
Thank u.
