# Configure Windows Firewall to Suppress Notifications When a Program Is Blocked
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
- Windows Server 2016
|
||
|
||
To configure Windows Firewall to suppress the display of a notification when it blocks a program that tries to listen for network traffic and to prohibit locally defined rules, use the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security node in the Group Policy Management console.
|
||
|
||
>**Caution:** If you choose to disable alerts and prohibit locally defined rules, then you must create firewall rules that allow your users’ programs to send and receive the required network traffic. If a firewall rule is missing, then the user does not receive any kind of warning, the network traffic is silently blocked, and the program might fail.
|
||
|
||
We recommend that you do not enable these settings until you have created and tested the required rules.
|
||
|
||
**Administrative credentials**
|
||
|
||
To complete these procedures, you must be a member of the Domain Administrators group, or otherwise be delegated permissions to modify the GPOs.
|
||
|
||
## To configure Windows Firewall to suppress the display of a notification for a blocked program and to ignore locally defined rules
|
||
|
||
1. [Open the Group Policy Management Console to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security](open-the-group-policy-management-console-to-windows-firewall-with-advanced-security.md).
|
||
|
||
2. In the details pane, in the **Overview** section, click **Windows Firewall Properties**.
|
||
|
||
3. For each network location type (Domain, Private, Public), perform the following steps.
|
||
|
||
1. Click the tab that corresponds to the network location type.
|
||
|
||
2. Under **Settings**, click **Customize**.
|
||
|
||
3. Under **Firewall settings**, change **Display a notification** to **No**.
|
||
|
||
4. Under **Rule merging**, change **Apply local firewall rules** to **No**.
|
||
|
||
5. Although a connection security rule is not a firewall setting, you can also use this tab to prohibit locally defined connection security rules if you are planning to deploy IPsec rules as part of a server or domain isolation environment. Under **Rule merging**, change **Apply local connection security rules** to **No**.
|
||
|
||
6. Click **OK** twice.
