QuickTime Decoder - not found, not needed?

(With apologies: I previously posted this to the wrong Forum).

Under Windows 10, in Resolve Studio 15 beta 4, CCleaner found the following invalid firewall rule and a search of my drives does not show an instance of the file "QTDecoder.exe".

Is the file missing or is the firewall rule just redundant?

"Invalid firewall rule:
{C01BC3E6-53A6-40F2-AE5F-8EA3526461F9}
C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\QtDecoder\QTDecoder.exe
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules
All users".

We stopped using that in Resolve 12.5.1

I assume you had an earlier Resolve version on your system at some point. And yes, a firewall rule was required to allow access to it.

Thank you for the clarification.

I shall delete the firewall rule - and still sleep well in the night.
