Windows 10 use powershell to disable - enable rule - unknown behaviour

[Chandreshshah]

I am using windows 10 1909 latest version, with admin privilege's.

Ensure that you have rule for inbound and outbound.

Now you block rule from both direction, now enable the rule only for outbound, to notice all the rule are vanished from inbound and appearing in the outbound, some unknown behavior, any solution please advise how do I get the my inbound rules back.
