Firewall is blocking all internet access

I am having problems with connection with the internet (Chrome & Edge) for WIN11.

I have “Restore Default” for WiFI, isolated VPN, turn off “Net Guard”. The only way is connect is by turning off the Firewall.

The following versions are installed:

McAfee Total protection Version 16.0 Release Name 16.0 R43

McAfee Personal Firewall  Build 21.3.194 Version 21.3

 

 Any advice or adjustment to settings?

Thanks.

Has your issue been resolved yet?
Mine remains outstanding after two weeks!
After the 'Tech Support' failed to show up on two scheduled sessions, I finally tracked down where I could do a 'chat' session and initiated a chat using the provided Service Request number assigned to my case. This Tech Support person ultimately had to extract some logs for 'further assessment' as to why they couldn't resolve the issue. I now await a further update from them, second day of awaiting communication.
