is it possible to remove the version number of apps installed via sideloading, if not can the installer be configured to detect existing firewall rules, (the only profile needed are domain networks).

Hi @mba-itplan,
I need a little more context on what you are trying to solve. It looks like you've listed specific Windows Apps with approved access through a local Windows Firewall by specifying the *.exe in the Windows App folder.
Thank you,

Hi @mba-itplan,
I wanted to share with you the following guidance that is available with allowing Windows Apps to communicate through a local firewall. The Risks of allowing apps through Windows Defender Firewall (microsoft.com) Microsoft Support article provides the following steps on allowing/denying Windows Apps through the local Windows Defender Firewall:
Select the Start menu, type Allow an app through Windows Firewall, and select it from the list of results.
Select Change settings. You might be asked for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.
To add an app, select the check box next to the app, or select Allow another app and enter the path for the app.
To remove an app, clear the check box next to the app, and then select OK.
If you found this information helpful, or resolved your question, please mark this answer as best or verified answer.
Thank you,
