What browser are you using?
If I delete the entire whitelist file, as soon as I restart WSA or the computer, the file is automatically recreated, but it is blank. In Chrome, any site that I had manually allowed is now re-blocked without touching the registry, but I have not checked behavior with other browsers.

OK, just for the record,
I cleaned out the whitelist txt file completely.
Deleted the entries from the registry.
Rebooted.
Attempted to visit the site:
Firefox was blocked
Chrome was not blocked
Aviator was not blocked

Thank you
That sounds too easy :D
I seem to remember some more complicated answers involving raising ticket/scanning etc.
I'm always happy with the easy way though. What happens to any data that is being used by WSA - monitoring or something.

I think that's kept in the Registry if I'm not mistaken and the only way to remove the Blocked URL? And Joe told me it's quite hard to break WSA by deleting the files as most of them will be recreated.@ wrote:
I believe in doing that solution you will ALSO be losing the data of any previously manually white-listed URL's, as well as the data files for the Web Filter itself which is sometimes needed to manually install or update the Filter in Chrome or other browsers.

Lets Test it.@ wrote:
The white list is contained in the wrURL folder, Whitelist file. Simply deleting that file will re-block all sites that had been manually allowed in the past. The file will automatically recreate itself as a blank file as soon as WSA or the computer is restarted, so it will not cause any program errors regarding a missing file, but the data will be lost.@ wrote:

Win 10 will not allow you to change or remove a blocked page from the Whitelist. LOL Even with WSA turned off.

No.. you cannot edit it, but you can delete it. Just turn off protection, and delete it. Then.. restart protection and you will see it back, but it will be empty if there had been any previously whitelisted sites :(@ wrote:

You MIGHT have to delete it as an Administrator. My Windows 10 account is an Admin account... I am NOT sure about this.,

Odd... I am logged in on an Admin account and it won't let me save the file LOL. (yes, I shut down WSA first LOL)@ wrote:
Yes, mine is an admin account. That might be the difference.
