https://community.windows.com blocked!
I wondered why when looking up a W10 help (https://community.windows.com ) I couldn't get it. There was no warning when using a link in W10. I found its being blocked when looking at security in the app. MS sites may well be doubtful but its a bit extreme to block them. Just loading the site does get warnings of death and disaster, but this is after I unblocked it in security. How to you get the program to accept you may be willing to accept a risk without telling it every time?
I think an email asking if "Did you get the answer you needed?" rather sums up the whole Netgear experience so far. The link it held was invalid, originally came up with a finance firm then just invalid link. For a firm whose forum can’t even provide correct links in communications it not surprising that the support/software/firmware they supply is so poor.

Hello John_Ba,
May you provide a screenshot of the message you get every time you attempt to access an unblocked URL?

- It's now allowing act, though why a ms Addy should every have been blocked is beyond me.
Hi sorry for poor spelling and typo’s. I am dyslexic so find forums that do not have a edit function nearly unusable. And from the phone I couldn'f find an edit option. Replying via my phone is easier to get access to the forum, on PC getting on is a pain, but the phone makes errors much worse.
The program is, as I hope come over, now not blocking the MS site. I have Norton on other devices and have never had such problems as I have been having with sites as the MS one. I have had to add all my network to the program to stop it blocking access either to ofr from other devices or printers, never have I had to do this before. It could be said it shows how carful the program is, my view is how poorly programed it is to block devices on the same network as the device its installed on, but that’s a another complaint along with how delayed Bitdefender program updates are in NG Armor.
