reset windows firewall without deleting instance
I accidentally messed up Windows Firewall of my VPS and now I can't connect using RDP anymore. Is there a way to reset the firewall rules without deleting and creating a new instance? Already checked the FAQs and found nothing about it, same goes for the cloud shell. The firewall rules that I can see on the web manager seems different of my Operational System firewall.

The best way is to use Google Cloud console.
Go to the Windows Instance Edit the Instance and add the following key/value pair to Custom Metadata section
key is: windows-startup-script-cmd value: netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
This resets the firewall to Off when booting and you can get back in with the RDP client as before.

Please open Cloud Shell on Google Cloud Platform web console.
Type: gcloud compute firewall-rules create openrdp --allow=tcp:3389
Try to connect your machine again.
