I guess I found the solution on answers.microsoft.com
Appears to be a corrupted firewall and in the answer thread I found
This Tool does it for you without requiring a working machine to export the file http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/tweaking_com_repair_windows_firewall,2.html
Downloaded the file tweaking.com - repair windows firewall v2.8.8 from the link above and ran it. Total Repair Time: 00:01:26 and now everything is working as it should be. Odd that I was getting access denied applying the rule but whatever this did it did fix the issue.
It would appear that I had partially fixed the issue by exporting the shred access default rules but still had some other problem. The tool I ran apparently would have reapplied the default rules also so maybe that it what fixed it.
