Blocking failures usually relate to window type, software self-protection or overwritten rules. Check the following in order.
Checklist
Confirm the feature is enabled and the strength level is reasonable, then look for the entry in the blocking history.
- Make sure pop-up blocking is on
- Raise the blocking strength
- Review the blocking history
Add rules manually
For windows that are not detected automatically, use one-click blocking on the pop-up to generate a rule.
- Use one-click blocking
- Add a rule for the program
- Add exceptions for blocked windows
FAQ
Can self-protecting software bypass blocking?
Some programs protect themselves. Try turning off their autostart or notification push in their own settings.
Rules stopped working after an update?
A changed program path breaks the rule. Simply run one-click blocking again.
