Locked Why is this rule entry in my firewall??

[Maximill]

In my firewall there are two inbound rules @FirewallAPI.dll,-80206 , @FirewallAPI.dll,-80201 and also one in the outbound rule @FirewallAPI.dll,-80204. I have freshly installed a windows 10 OS from Ghost Spectre....

Windows 10 Pro - Superlite / Compact / x64 / Version 2009 OS build 19042.630 (I love this OS)

My other windows iso's don't have these rules. I just would like to know what are they for?

Privacy tweaks in custom build nothing new. Be free to remove it if you do not like it!

Those rules exist in most windows build above 1903 and it's not something specific to the build you downloaded and that's probably why you haven't seen them in the other ISOs you have if they are older.

82201 is inbound TCP and 82206 Inbound UDP for the camera FrameServer through the svhost.exe which allows for a camera to be used by multiple applications at the same time more likely in your case the RTSP (Real-time streaming protocol) if the port 554 is on, which often gets activated by games. If I remember well the rule is only enabled for the local subnet and not for the internet but double-check that as it may change from one windows build to another.

As @Mirkec said above it's safe to disable them... unless you have a camera or you are streaming.

Will move this to support request as I think it's better to be placed there.

First off thanks TheMacGyver for moving this into the right place, sorry about that. And Thank you Cyler for your reply. So since you informed me what this was I decided to just block these entries so I hope it's fine. Don't have a camera anyways. Mirkec, when you said to remove these entries I figured just to block these entries instead.

great advice team, personally, I would have removed them as blocked entries can often be switched on again by fresh updates.
