Explanation

Windows Firewall is the built-in security tool that controls which applications and services are permitted to communicate over network connections, including LAN.

Users and Groups manages accounts, Registry Editor edits low-level system settings (not application network rules directly), and Task Scheduler automates timed tasks - none of these control application network access.
