Hi

At the start of Windows 11 I get a notification from Malwarebytes Firewall Control that OneDrive wants to access the internet. I always grant the permission, but later, when I boot again I get the same notification with different IPs...So how to grant permission to OneDrive once without getting more notifications?

Since you already choose Allow each time but the notification returns after reboot, I’d check whether Windows Firewall Control is actually creating a persistent rule for OneDrive. Open Malwarebytes → Tools → Windows Firewall Control → Rules and search for OneDrive. If there isn’t an Allow rule for the OneDrive executable, you can create one manually: select the OneDrive program, set Direction to Outbound and Action to Allow. Also check whether there are multiple or conflicting OneDrive rules. If an old rule points to a different OneDrive executable/path, that could explain why you are prompted again after restarting Windows. I’d check the existing rules first rather than disabling notifications completely.
