I'm using AWS with RDP to log on the remote desktop unfortunately I activate the firewall and by default it blocks all incoming traffic, how to solve this?

Hello.

Try disabling Windows Firewall using AWSSupport-TroubleshootRDP from the SSM automation documentation.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/troubleshoot-connect-windows-instance.html#Troubleshooting-Remote-Desktop-Connection-issues-using-AWS-Systems-Manager

To use SSM automation documents, you must register EC2 as an SSM managed instance.  
Please set up an IAM role on EC2 by following the steps in the document below.

Answer

Very useful!, after using the SSM I was able to login the system with command line 
then disable the Firewall with the command 
> netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

Thanks for your support
