Hey there,
I'm sure this issue stems from some firewall setting I tweaked or maybe because I'm on my universities residence hall network. Either way, it's been bothersome to me and I'd like to figure out how to nerf it.

Heres what's going on:
Everytime I boot up my computer I get firewall popups asking me to allow programs through for every program that starts up (well most of them). I've posted a screenshot below of this. If I try to open up another program (steam, games, etc) I also get a bios popup for the new programs. I'd like to figure out how I can just allow everything through and not get these annoying popups everytime I restart.

Thanks,
Matt

I cannot read the finer print but those pop-ups are being generated by Windows Defender.

Are you using Windows 10? If so. go into the Windows Defender Security Center and check the Firewall settings. Provided that you have the necessary admin rights on the computer you should be able to change the Firewall settings to allow the programs through the firewall.
