There are no programs listed in the exception list allow programs and features in the Windows on Windows 7 firewall

I try to add a program to the Windows Firewall exceptions list. When I go to control configuration\systeme and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed programs, I discovered that there were not all of the programs listed.

If I click on the "Edit settings" button, it becomes grey and nothing happens. I am the Admin so I should have access to it. When I click on the button "Allow another program", any program, I am trying to add will give me an error message saying "firewall cannot add Windows ' [program]" to the list of exceptions.

This has happened recently. I was able to add programs to the list of exceptions before.

Thanks for the reply.
