Windows Defender Firewall Blocking Ping

$

My workstations use Windows Defender Firewall managed by local group policy. Every time I try to ping from this one workstation I receive "General Failure". When I turn the firewall off I can ping just fine so that pinpoints my issue.

I have allowed all "File and Printer Sharing" predefined rules with no luck. I then allowed all "File and Printer Sharing" rules under Advanced Firewall settings in Control Panel and that allowed me to ping.

The workstation sat over the weekend and is now back to giving me "General Failure" when I try to ping. I have verified that the "File and Printer Sharing" rules are still enabled.
