Method 4: Change Windows Defender Firewall settings
Windows Firewall acts like a filter on your computer. It scans information on a website entering your system and potentially blocks malicious data entering it. Thus, Windows will ask you for permission to access any newly installed program or application for the first time.
- If you click "Allow", you will be able to access the program without any interruption.
- On the other hand, if you click Deny, you won't be able to access all features of any recently installed apps.
So if your Windows Defender Firewall is blocking some Twitch features, you won't be able to access some checkpoints. This causes a problem with loading Twitch mods. Hence, add an exception to the program or disable the firewall to fix this problem.

1. Type Control Panel in the search bar and click Open.

3. Here, click Windows Defender Firewall.
4. Now click Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.
5. Then click "Change Settings" and check if Twitch allows access through the firewall.
Note. Use Allow another app... to find the app or program you want if it's not listed.
6. Finally, click OK to save changes and restart your computer .
