I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (version 10.0.17763). I've setup everything I need and I'm configuring UWF filters. I enabled protection for C:
volume, and added a couple of exclusions for:
- allowing write on my app folder in
C:\Program Files\CustomApp
(for updates) - allowing write on the user's "User" Documents folder
C:\Users\User\Documents\
(custom app logs, ...) - allowing network interfaces edit
Here are the settings extracted from command uwfmgr get-config

My custom app runs a WebSocket server that listen to port 8080. I added a firewall inbound rule to allow all incoming requests for the app.
When the firewall is enabled and UWF filer is disabled, I can connect to my app from another PC. When UWF is enabled, the connection fails.
If I completely disable the firewall, I can connect to the app both when UWF manager is enabled or disabled.
What UWF configuration am I missing to have the firewall working as expected with UWF filtering enabled?
