    W10-Pro updating (somehow forced after months of preventing) seems to have produced ‘Facefoduninstaller,exe’ for Privatefirewall to ask if want to block.

    Couldnt find a description here, and couldnt find any clear description on the internet.

    Suggestions ?

    You might have more luck if you correct the typo - it's a period, not a comma before exe

    Thanks for the alert and sorry about the typo.
    We did do the searches with the 'period' (.exe).

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Found Facefoduninstaller,exe in 5 different folders (1 under System32\, and 4 under WinSxS\.
    The 1 under WinSxS\ dates back to 3/18/2019 and the rest 1/26/2021.
    It appears our recent 1/26 surprise 'W10 Update' seemed to be only related to the Facefoduninstaller,exe (now ‘blocked’ by PFW) as all previous prevented W10 updates are still on hold.
    Not sure if would be ok to delete all those Facefoduninstaller,exe files ?
    May try WuMgr and see what it says about it.

    Uploaded Facefoduninstaller,exe filename to VirusTotal and all 'Community' noted 'Undetected'.
