You were warned in the "How to boot into Windows 10 Safe Mode" thread
when you mentioned you would enable Defender's ransomware protection.
It is similar to 3rd-party firewalls with an option to block all
outgoing network connections unless you choose to block always, allow
temporarily, or allow always.  In both, you get an option to throttle
what can connect by the firewall, and what can access what for
Defender's ransomware protection.  You get more protection, and you
choose to do the additional control.  Both come with whitelists, so some
programs are exempted, but you'll keep getting nagged until you decide
on block always or allow always.  Eventually the nags wane as you keep
making those decisions unless, of course, you keep installing more
software that requires more of your decisions which you opted into
getting.
