App version

3.8.5

Windows version

Windows 11 24H2

Steps to reproduce

Activate Microsoft Update in the block list option. Go to settings and check the option: Rules : allow Windows Update. This will add wusvc.exe to the list of applications with network access.

However, when running Windows Update, a popup will appear asking you to approve wusvc.exe for network access (out https 443). If you approve it, Windows Update will be able to proceed. If you do not approve it, Windows will not be able to check and to perform updates.

Expected behavior

Update the setup of the rule to allow Windows Update without manually creating network access for wusvc.exe, opening all doors.

Actual behavior

Despite proper setup for windows update, when running Windows Update, a popup will appear asking you to approve wusvc.exe for network access (output https 443).

To add to this, when I enabled the Allow Windows Update rule on a Windows 11 23H2 system, it broke Windows update; the process could not start or entered a restart loop.
