Defender blocking remote desktop connection (win 10 pro), cannot find specific rule to enable

Hello, I have a Win 10 Pro system that accepts remote desktop connection if I enable all incoming connections in firewall.

I'd like to set firewall to block by default and have just the remote desktop connection opened up but cannot find a rule for this.

Lots related to remote assistance. No rule "RDP."

Most of the advice I find online seems to be written for different variants of firewall?

This is a fresh install of windows 10 pro so it should be clean and shiny.

I tried the remote assistance setup app but this fails claiming that something else is managing the settings. Even after a reboot.

This should be really easy... Do i need to create a custom rule?

Hi I´m an Independent Advisor

This is not set up in Firewall as a rule, you need to let an application to run through the firewall.

In control panel you need to let this app run through firewall, attached you may find a image in spanish, that can help you to do so.

Let me know if this solve your problem.
