Windows 10, Win10 Firewall and FFXIV

I got the unable to complete version check this morning. The config file version was checked to "1". My FFXIV client couldn't even get to the launcher.
We were able to log in by disabling the firewall.

Please could you fix FFXIV so that it works with Windows 10 :(. I don't want to have to keep logging on in such a roundabout way.

It works perfectly with Windows 10. Myself, my girlfriend and several other IRL friends have been playing FFXIV in DX9 and DX11 mode on Windows 10 for a long time.

Also, you say "this morning", which is odd since Windows does not arbitrarily change firewall settings on its own. I would try to manually add firewall exceptions for ffxiv.exe, ffxiv_dx11.exe, ffxivboot.exe, ffxivlauncher.exe and ffxivupdater.exe and see if that helps though.
