I have a new, out of the box Surface Pro 7 that is kept 100% updated. I've had this annoying problem for a few months now.


There are two programs that I have found so far that produce a firewall pop up asking for network access. I have to allow public and private access each time I launch Google Chrome or Spotify music after a reboot. The PC forgets my settings after a reboot.
