Problem you are trying to solve

Applying the same rule to multiple applications is repetitive and inefficient. For example, to run Windows Update or update a complex app, I have to find every single executable involved and apply the same action (like a 10-minute timer) to each one individually. If I miss even one executable, the whole update process can fail. This makes temporarily allowing related services much more work than it needs to be.

Suggested solution

Introduce a feature to create named "Application Groups."

Here's how it would work:

  1. I could, for example, create a new group called "Updates."

  2. I would add all the different executables required for Windows Update into that single "Updates" group.

  3. Then, I could apply a single action, like a 10-minute timer, to the entire "Updates" group. All applications inside that group would then be allowed for 10 minutes.

This would turn a repetitive, multi-step task into a simple, two-click action.
