App version
v.3.8.1
Windows version
Windows 11 23H2 22631.3447
Steps to reproduce
If i enable Rules > Allow Windows Update, i get error in Windows Update. And yes Microsoft Update is set to default Disable (Recommended) in Blocklist. Setting to Allow doesn't make a difference. If i disable Rules > Allow Windows Update, Windows Update works again.
Expected behavior
Enabling Rules > Allow Windows Update and setting Microsoft Update to default Disable (Recommended) in Blocklist should cause Windows Update to work just like in v3.7.8.
Actual behavior
Enabling Rules > Allow Windows Update causes Windows Update to show error connecting instead.
Logs
No response
Same issue happening to me with v3.8.1. Enabling the rule "Allow Windows Update" and enabling system rules "Windows Update service" and "Windows Update Delivery service" did not work. Simplewall had to be disabled to let Windows updates continue.
Same issue in v3.8.3 Allow Windows Update option under Rules Menu is still working backwards.
For whatever reason, wusvc.exe outbound packets are blocked although the program is fully enabled in apps tab. (Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 24H2 build 26100.1150 w/ simplewall 3.8.3 x64)
But something catches my eye if I look at the log file. The program path seems odd (just "C:\")...
