Your English is fine. Run the firewall as Administrator then try again even if you have admin rights. Why are you trying to import them - are there a lot of rules? Is a standalone machine.

Windows 10 Pro Yes, the same version. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Previous Next. Ravinath P. Hi jq85, Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. Click Start, type cmd.

In reply to Ravinath P's post on December 1, Did all that before posting. The predefined rules are all missing. Got any links to where I can get the registry entries to import? In reply to jq85's post on December 1, I clicked 'Me too' thinking it would add me as having the same problem, but I think it interpreted me as saying my problem is solved.

It isn't. Error message importing from a working W7 PC is "Policy import failed. Error: Access is denied Code: 5". Having the same issue in my pc Windows 7 x Error : 3". Error : Access is denied. Code : 5". No difference. Did nothing. Welcome to our community! Hello, I'm working on Server R2 Std. Embedded image for one of our products. I'm nearly done but I just realized that for some reason I can export the Windows Firewall policy but can't import it back.

Policy import failed. Error: Access is denied Code: 5 Here's a little bit of history: As I'm making my image, I periodically make backup images just in case I screw something up. The last backup that still allows me to import a policy was taken just before I configured group policy and installed Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Group Policy changes were pretty extensive. I basically used Department of Homeland Security guidelines which cover many many areas. Anyway, I decided to narrow it down by a process of elimination so I started with my backup that still worked. I set every possibly related that I thought would prevent me from policy import GP setting and I can still import!

I even installed the Endpoint Protection. One other "hint".
