Display of a notification to the user when Windows Firewall blocks network activity should be enabled or disabled as appropriate for the private profile.
Select this option to have Windows Firewall with Advanced Security display notifications to the user when a program is blocked from receiving inbound connections. Note When the Apply local firewall rules setting is configured to No, Microsoft recommends also configuring the Display a notification setting to No. Otherwise, users will continue to receive messages that ask if they want to unblock a restricted inbound connection, but the users response will be ignored.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall Properties\Private Profile\Windows Firewall: Private: Display a notification
(2) KEY: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\PrivateProfile\DisableNotifications
