Logs

under C:\Users<User>\AppData\Roaming\Henry++\simplewall\simplewall_debug.log, entry appears:

"Error","‎24 ‎January ‎2024 ‏‎6:13:47","FwpmFilterAdd0","0x80320024","FWPM_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4\User rule<my_executable>.exe - ","3.7.7","10.0 build 22631"

this error was not present in previous simplewall versions

In the Create rule window, in Action: group, do you have Block/Allow radiobuttons or combobox? In 3.7.6 there were radiobuttons with Allow selected by default, but in 3.7.7-3.7.8 there is a combobox without default action. So you need to choose some action before creating the rule. Annoing, yes.

you are right, there is no default action now.. it feels more natural with the default allow one

I'm having the same error on Windows 10 19045.4046
