On search type Firewall and go to Windows Firewall Advanced Security

On left click on Outbound rules
Make sure all rules are enabled and all rules Action is set to Allow

Isn't there a way to do this without touching every single outbound rule?
Like some setting that disables the Outbound rules, or some special rules that can be setup with a high priority so the other default outbound rules are ignored?
Do you have rules that are actually blocking any of the outbound traffic? And are you sure Windows Firewall is doing it, versus your network's firewall or router?

PS- if someone has created outbound rules you can reset to default as per TechNet.  It is quite straight forward
