EOS Utility crashes Windows firewall

[ShadowHowler]

Hello.

I bought a 70D a few days ago and wanted to try the wi-fi function today.

I downloaded and installed the latest software for my camera from the Canon support site.

Im having the following problem with the software.

When i run EOS Utility I get the following message:

-To connect to the camera via LAN, some Windows Firewall settings must be changed. Do you want to make these changes?

I click yes and get the next message:

-WFT FirewallSettings has stopped working. 

The next message i get after i click on close program says:

Could not change the Windows Firewall settings.

I tried adding the EOS utility and EOS utility 2 manualy, and allowed acces, but it still doesnt work.

Not enough info but I will guess it is your firewall and not EOSU.  You need to look there.

I think i found the solution for my problem. I just chenged the language from Slovene to English and it started working.

After that i changed it back to Slovene and it's still working. I hope the program wont give up on me any time soon.

Hi, I have got the same proble with Utility 3.

I try to pair it with my EOS M10 in windows 10 but it always come up with error :''WFT Firewall Settings has stopped working'', May i know how you did with the language settings ? did you mean the OS language setting ?

thanks so much
