Windows Firewall Control heeft 4 filter modes, te kiezen met één muisklik :
High Filtering - Alle uitgaande verbindingen worden afgeblokt.
Medium Filtering - Uitgaande verbindingen worden slechts doorgelaten als er een regel voor is ingesteld. Enkel de programma's waarbij je toestemming geeft kunnen regels aanmaken en instellen.
Low Filtering - Alle uitgaande verbindingen worden toegelaten, behalve diegene die door een regel worden afgeschermd. Ook kan je programma's verhinderen eigen regels aan te maken.
No Filtering - Windows Firewall is uitgeschakeld. Enkel te gebruiken als een andere firewall actief is dan de standaard Windows Firewall.

- Improved: The logic of disabling unauthorized rules was changed to update the rule description instead of the rule name to avoid repeated rule creation as a result of different rule name.
- Fixed: The programs executed from Tools tab can be used for privilege escalation. For standard user accounts, these tools will prompt the UAC dialog so that only administrators can launch them with full privileges.
- Fixed: Creating new rules for files with empty file description creates new rules with an empty starting space. These rules can't be modified from WFwAS.
- Fixed: Icon from profile switch notification is not the correct one.
