I seem to be experiencing some problems downloading certain programs from the Microsoft Store. In trying to diagnose the problem, I have (temporarily) created a rule that allows all traffic with no web mailware or content scanning, no IPS, no web policy and no application control. Even with everything turned off, I am still unable to download.
I don't anything in any of the logs other than the Firewall log, where I see a number of connections to destination port 443 being blocked by Rule 0 and the message "Could not associate packet to any connection". These start showing up shortly after I attempt to start the download in Microsoft Store. I looked up the destination addresses and there does seem to be some connection to the downloading problem - the blocked connections are to destinations such as a69-192-108-133.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com while others are resolved by ns2-201.azure-dns.net.
I have reviewed many posts regarding the same error message and I believe I understand what the error message is supposed to be doing - i.e. the firewall is receiving packets for a non-existent connection or a connection that has timed-out. I understand further that the time-out setting is by default 3 hours and have confirmed that is the case with my setup (following the instructions here). It therefore seems odd that I would see these error messages shortly after initiating the download, as it seems to be more than a coincidence. I've also noticed somewhat similar posts here, here and here, but with no apparent solution.
If anyone has any thoughts on the issue or possible workarounds, they would be most appreciated.
