Hmm. Anything in your event logs?

Not that I can see - plenty of activity in windows defender but nothing
related to Windows Firewall at all.


Can you see anything if you look at gpedit.msc and look for the
firewall config settings in your local policy?

here are the settings I exported:

Setting State
Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections Not configured
Windows Firewall: Do not allow exceptions Not configured
Windows Firewall: Define program exceptions Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow local program exceptions Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow remote administration exception Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow file and printer sharing exception Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow ICMP exceptions Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow Remote Desktop exception Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow UPnP framework exception Not configured
Windows Firewall: Prohibit notifications Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow logging Not configured
Windows Firewall: Prohibit unicast response to multicast or broadcast
requests Not configured
Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions Not configured
Windows Firewall: Allow local port exceptions Not configured
