Win7 firewall blocks Microsoft updates and downloads, how can I stop it this?

I have a new PC with Win7. I can't get updates by disabling the firewall. Also if I want to download whatever it is from microsoft, for example the Word, IE9 compatibility program is to expire and I get an error of diagnosis of the page type, but if the firewall is disabled, it goes through immediately.

I can't find anywhere in the firewall settings to specify whether a web address secure. I don't know what port open or what IP addresses to.

It seems strange to create a firewall that cannot be configured to be more user-friendly. The rest of the world treats www... types of address not IPs.

It seems strange that it will stop the site that created the program

I modified the security settings for IE without success, disabling the firewall is the only way.

In all cases any suggestions?

Hey Baycoast,.

In respect to the thread I linked you, to make a long story short, I suggest to check your Windows to make sure firewall settings that Windows updates are to pass:
If you are running third-party firewall software such as Norton, McAfee, etc.. I suggest to disable temporarily and try to re-download the updates.
