Can I remove NETGEAR USB Control Center?

More Information:
Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of control center.exe. The message is "This app has already been blocked or unblocked for a different network type" I don't understand the message. Is control center.exe needed for my R7000 network? I do have a printer on the R7000 USB port.

You can get some insights into the message, and what is going on, by visiting this bit of Windows:

Firewall Allowed applications
As you can see, there are several Netgear things in there.
