If not, please let us know the exact AVG program's name.
I have this issue with AVG on all my Windows 11 machines. Local NAS mapped drives and network printer not accessible unless AVG is disabled. How do I change settings to fix?

Yes - Disable just firewall helps
Thank you for clarifying, Paul.
Please disable AVG Firewall alone to check if it helps. (Open AVG Internet Security - Menu- Basic protection - Enhanced firewall - click on toggle bar).
