Updated: Windows Defender Firewall Rule Creation Script For The Epic Games Launcher Application

The following batch files can be used to create a secure set of Windows Defender Firewall Rules on Windows 10 / 11, for the EPIC Games Launcher Application, and any applications located within a subdirectory, or the root directory of the Default Installation Folder path:

NOTE: On Windows 10 / 11: Right-click on the following batch file after saving it, and click “Run as administrator”.

(1.) Use Notepad to create this file on your desktop or another folder: EPIC_Launcher_App_Firewall_Rule_Creator.bat

NOTE: Most people use the root folder of the Default Installation Folder path, as the same install path for everything. In any other type of scenario, this may not work as expected. At that point, this batch file is a better choice, as it’s basically foolproof:

SIDE NOTE: If you put BYPASS in front of the first batch file, it will create a firewall ruleset for the app, and the all the associated games, unattended in the background:

Alternate:
