I accidentally restored my outbound rules to default settings on my Windows 11 PC, and now some of my applications are crashing and my computer is lagging. I attempted to follow some guidance online to set up new custom outbound rules, but I'm having trouble locating the crashed apps in the necessary files. What should I do to resolve this issue? Thanks for any help!

To resolve your crashing apps, first check the Event Viewer to see which applications are experiencing issues. After identifying them, navigate to Windows Firewall, head to Outbound Rules, and try to create custom rules for those specific applications. If you're facing issues finding the program path, you can also execute the command `netsh advfirewall reset` in the Command Prompt to reset your firewall rules. If these don't work, consider using System Restore or reinstalling the troublesome applications.

I feel you—restoring settings can be a hassle! Just so you know, if you don’t have a backup, it might complicate things. If the Event Viewer route doesn't help, reinstalling the apps you're having trouble with could fix the lag and crashes. Sometimes, a simple reinstall can solve a lot of issues. Good luck!
