Firewall Interactive mode disappeared for Windows 10 Pro

AdrianGodfrey

I cannot find an "interactive mode" for the firewall in Endpoint on Windows 10 Pro, so no alerts for "add", "replace" and "block". as there are in Windows 7 Ultimate

"allow all traffic" is very dangerous. "show blocked connections in last 10 minutes" doesn't show the name and/or path of the executables.

Is it possible just to copy SCFService.exe from my Windows 7 PC to the Windows 10 PC? Or should I look for a different firewall for Windows 10?

    Hello Adrian Godfrey,

    interactive mode
    has been removed with SCF 3.x (the version that supports Windows 8.1+).

    Is it possible just to copy
    It is - if you're lucky SCF just won't work, but not unlikely it'll break something. Never, neverever just copy an arbitrary file of some application, especially a system application.

    Doesn't fix the problem. How can a newer version have LESS functionality? Now I need to uninstall and reinstall without the Sophos firewall and install a different firewall on my Windows 10 PC. The Sophos firewall works properly on my Windows 7 PC.

    Hello Adrian Godfrey,

    Doesn't fix the problem
    I'm aware of this (I'm not Sophos, BTW). You can uninstall just SCF, no need to un- and reinstall the whole product. Dunno why the Interactive mode has been removed - arguably for managed endpoints in an enterprise it isn't that important but admittedly "onboard"  configuration is tedious without interactive mode.
