The first thing that we need to do is access "Control Panel"

.

To do that, we need to right-click on the lower-left corner of the screen and then click "Control Panel".
2

When "Control Panel" opens, we need to click "System and Security"

.
3

Then, we need to click "Windows Firewall"

.

Alternatively, we may click "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall". It is located under the Windows Firewall. This time let's click "Windows Firewall".
4

We will find the same link on the left side of the screen, "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall"

.

We click it.
5

Now, we have several options

.

For example, to start making changes, you need to click "Change settings" located above the list of apps and features. Note that you need to be logged in as an administrator.
6

Now, you can change the settings, for example, to allow the app

.

In this case, let's go ahead and allow "Age of Empires II" through the Private and Public networks. In this case, it is only allowed through the Public network. If we check the Private network and click "OK" at the bottom of the window, we will be able to pass through the firewall on the Public network while playing Age of Empires II. So, set those settings according to your preference, and then you can close this window.
