I need to add and remove certain exceptions but I cannot find out how to get there. Can anyone help please.
Start/Control Panel then Windows Firewall
I have done that. There is no link to 'exceptions' as on other versions of windows.
I haven't used Windows 10, therefore I'm not sure how useful my post is going to be to you and whether it's still relevant. However, if Windows 10 is anything like Windows 8 then you'll be able to access/modify Windows Firewall rules through MMC Console.I have done that. There is no link to 'exceptions' as on other versions of windows.
1) Start Button > Search for 'MMC Console'.
2) In MMC Console go to File > Add/Remove Snap-in > Select Windows Firewall With Advanced Security and add it.
3) Then File > 'Save as' and save the *.msc somewhere (E.G Save to Desktop as 'MMC Console.msc', then you can run it again later without having to add the Windows Firewall Snap-in again)
Thank you for your effort but win 10 does not recognise the command 'mmc console'.
See if this helps - the wording has changed between Win7 and Win8, but the functionality is the same.I need to add and remove certain exceptions but I cannot find out how to get there. Can anyone help please.

In my win 10 pro just typing in MMC in "run" brings up the console. However I do not see Event Viewer or anything there where one can put in the exceptions. Can anyone elaborate?Thank you for your effort but win 10 does not recognize the command 'mmc console'.

Noticed I have an app name like *.scottrade.com there and tried to add another like *.ameritrade.com but could not accomplish this. It wants to be linked to a specific file but this does not cover other links that Ameritrade uses. That is why I wanted to use *. in front of the site name. Do you know how to do this or am I on the wrong track?
