Typing

> New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Search" -Direction Outbound -Action Block -Profile "Domain, Private, Public" -Program "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy\SearchUI.exe"

That looks to be a publisher id in use since Windows 8.


I'm not sure it is universally consistent with that. I saw it change for a Metro app in Windows 8.1.
