FWP_E_NEVER_MATCH

FWP_E_NEVER_MATCH means the conditions in an enumeration template or subscription are mutually incompatible, so no WFP object can satisfy them.

What to inspect for FWP_E_NEVER_MATCH

  • Look for conflicting conditions on the same field, incompatible object types, or a constraint that excludes all values.
  • Test each condition independently, then combine them incrementally.
  • Treat this as a query-design error rather than evidence that the engine is missing policy objects.

Diagnostic discriminator: Evaluate the enumeration or subscription conditions together. If individual conditions work but the combined template excludes every object, the defect is the query design, not absence of WFP policy state.
