Error 0x6D9 Windows Firewall

my windows firewall is not working and when I try to turn it on, it gives me the error 0x6D9 code.  I tried everything that can think, how can I get this service restarted?

Make sure that any dependency of firewall service is also started.  See this post:

  • Error opening Windows Firewall: 0 x 80070005 access denied

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 installed on my computer. When I opened a Bittorrent client, I receive the following error message

    "Error opening Windows Firewall: 0 x 80070005 access denied."

    I've added exception for a specific port 24366 (used by the BT client) on the Windows Firewall, to receive incoming connections. However my port (http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=xxxxx) and the test of telnet to the port, seem to fail. The port online test gives the following error

    "Year error has occurred!
    " Port 24366 does not seem to be open."

    This looks like a problem with the Windows Firewall. Any ideas on how I could get this problem resolved?

    Thank you Rob for the various ideas. I finally got this working! Not sure if this is a Vista problem or just my computer, but when I opened the customer of BT using 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR', it started working.

    I hope this helps others out there of similar problems. It's a two-step process,

    1. make sure that the port of the torrent is open in Windows Firewall
    2. open the customer of BT using 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR'

    NOTE: I am already connected with an administrator account.

    Thank you guys.

  • Windows Store errors and Windows Firewall

    Hi, I have Samsung notebook series 3. When I try to install applications on Windows Store, an error showed by saying "your purchase could not be executed. Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase. "Error code: 0 x 80070422 '.

    I discovered that it could be the firewall problem. So I went to the Windows Firewall settings and it says that "Windows Firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer." I tried to change it to the recommended settings, but an error appeared "firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code: 0 x 80070422. "Can someone help me solve these problems?

  • Errors of Windows Firewall and other related errors

    My computer was reset the network settings on the Proxy Server. I scanned a zero access Root using McAfee antivirus, but it said that I own.

    Hello Tarriver,

    You can try to follow the following suggestions to solve the problem with firewall errors and problems of scanning of SFC.

    Run the disk check to find and fix errors on the disc.

    (a) click Start, type cmd, right click on cmd and click run as administrator.

    (b) at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and press to enter.

    For more information on ""check a drive for errors " visit this link:"

    Important: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area so all available data on this risk be lost.

    Also, try to check the issue in a new user account and see if that helps. To create a user account follow this link:

  • 0x8007042c error code: "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings.

    On this subject, I've seen the thread of Nov - Dec 2009. There was no alternative to then to reinstall Windows.  They mentioned the c:\windows\system32\drivers\mdsdrv.sys as file being missing.  Is it possible to get this driver and fix the problem?. Or is there a new fix for 2009?

    A lot has happened since your response on Dec 14.  I tried your last two suggestions without success.  Finally I got to the store (Best Buy). They spent more than a week to repair.  Apparently, they found a number of damaged system files. They finally got it fixed. I brought home, and it seems to work fine for less than a day, then the same problems.

    I got to Best Buy, and this time they completely erasing the hard disk and restored the computer to the factory State. Don't really know what caused the problem.

    Hey everybody.  This same exact error and Windows Firewall behavior appear to be linked to another problem with the Group Policy Client service.  Here's a new post with the solution of the Microsoft community forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/why-wont-windows-connect-to-the-group-policy/b73107f8-8447-4599-87a5-65ecc6a63aa0?page=2)

    NOTE: before you try this solution make sure you have the problem with the Group Policy Client service, i.e.:

    1. Non-admin users cannot connect to the computer
    2. When an administrator logs on, a message is displayed informing you that Windows is unable to connect to the Group Policy Client service
    3. Group Policy Client service does not seem to be started snap-in computer services.msc

    If you have these three symptoms listed above, then the fix may resolve the error code 0x6D9 firewall

    Step by step video for those who are not very technical procedure is here: http://youtu.be/4m5KEmckWK4

    I had this problem on my laptop since November, and it really annoyed me.  I sifted through the event log and found the model of events leading up to the issue and, probably, he did.

    In short, the model is as follows: Windows updates automatically run as planned, and when restarting is launched after the updates are complete, the computer crashes (probably during the reboot sequence).  When starting, it signals that the last stop was not planned, and the question starts to happen.

    I spent 2 days trying to dig a solution by Internet, without success, until I came across this page.  It says nothing about this particular problem, but it gives more information on the SVCHOST process that launches many services, including Group Policy Client.  It seems that when restarting vital registry settings have been lost during the accident and Group Policy Client 'do not know' how to start.  Let me explain:

    There are two places to look in the registry:

    1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path must contain gpsvc key (a record), which is responsible for the configuration and service settings.  I found the key was intact, so you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows svchost It's the most important way you should look at in, because it should contain keys and values under the #1 key.  Here are descriptions of what must be present there.
    • There must be called GPSvcGroupmulti-string value. My laptop was missing it.  Thus, you must create the multi-string value called GPSvcGroup and assign it the value GPSvc.
    • Then, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key should normally be there, but, again, that it was missin on my laptop.
    • Open the newly created GPSvcGroup folder, then create 2 DWORD values:
    1. First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0 x 00003020 (or in decimal form 12320)
    2. Second, called CoInitializeSecurityParam , and it must have the value 1.

    When you have finished all the above steps, restart the computer, and the problem will be solved.

  • Frequent blue screens, load error popups, no more access to the Windows Firewall or system restore.

    ORIGINAL TITLE: Many many problems at once.

    I get frequent crashes and Blue Screen of Death, and error loading of pop-up windows, so I can't access Windows Firewall or system restore. What happens here? I deleted the last hardware (a second printer) and a P2P program.  I ran AVG antiviris and Superantispyware programs several times, same mode without failure, but nothing have mounted there. I also have a report of error that Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing Service cannot start due to a missing path.  Which maybe can be causing all these problems? I think of reformatting my hard drive, but it's a last resort.

    I could not run the system restore, even in safe mode. Last good known Configuration did not work, either. However, clean boot seems to have done the trick. I no longer get the popups on start up and I can access firewall Windows, which is now on. Oddly enough, my EVG and Superantispyware programs wouldn't let me download the latest updates. Since they are free programs, they offer very little help to solve problems, so I uninstalled both of them (at the same time as Windows Defender to avoid conflicts) and installed Windows Security Essentials which works very well. My last problem is one is the crash suddenly, but to be honest I him have not lived since the clean boot. Hoping that...

    Thank you very much for your help. I was almost to the point of reformatting my hard drive, this is not a walk in the Park, no matter what they say.

  • Windows Firewall problem - unable to start service. [FIXED]

    THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED! Thank you! SEE MY LAST POST FOR MORE DETAILS.

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for a while and we had no problems with the software.

    I tried to start the Windows Firewall service for the last couple days. After some research (with no response), I tried several steps.

    Evertime I try to turn on the Windows Firewall through Control Panel, I get this error:

    "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings.

    0x8007042c error code. »

    First, I checked the Services. This is what I found.

    -Windows Firewall (automatic)

    -Engine of Filtring basis (Auto)
    -Windows Firewall authorization driver (missing)

    Then I tried sfc/scannow in a prompt (run as administrator). This was the result.

    "Start system analysis.  This process will take time.

    Start of the phase of verification of the scanning system.
    Full check of 100%.

    Windows resource protection found no violation of integrity. »

    Then, I went in the management of the computer and found that Windows Firewall authorization driver has a yellow top brand scream icon. Right click and clicking on properties gave this:

    Under the general tab:

    Device type: drivers Non Plug-and-Play

    Manufacturer: unknown

    File version: 6.1.7600.16358 (win7_rtm.090713 - 1255)

    This error appears whenever I try to start the Windows Firewall authorization diver:

    "The system has encountered the following error trying to start the service.

    Cannot create a file when that file already exists. »

    Then I tried these commands in the same command prompt, with the results listed after each command:

    netsh advfirewall reset

    Unable to load the programme of assistance following DLL: WSHELPER. DLL.

    An error occurred while trying to contact the Windows Firewall service. Make sure that the service is running, then try your request again.

    Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

    The dependency service or group was able to start.

    I also tried "regsvr32 wshelper.dll" and got the following error message:

    I have found wshelper.dll in C:\Windows\System32 (20KO) and folders C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (15KO), as mpsdrv.sys in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers (75.5 KB).

    It is all the information that I recall gathering at this time.

    If a similar problem like this has been asked and answered, please point me in the right direction.

    -Thank you.

    Thank you all, but I got it working again. It seems to be related to the Google redirect virus. I downloaded ComboFix and it got rid of the problem.

    Thank you guys for your answers.

  • Code error 0x6d9 but the windows firewall is turned on

    Hello

    I have the full version of Malwarebytes installed on my computer (Win 7). My windows firewall is turned on, but I can't access "Firewall with Advanced Security Windows". It keeps giving me the error 0x6d9 code. I want to open windows with advanced security firewall for an outbound rule, but I can't access it. The Windows Firewall is enabled and is in automatic mode, but I still got this message. Is it possible that Malwarebytes could interfere with that? Need help please.

    OK, problem solved. :)

    In my case, the snap would charge because I had turned off the customer service group policy (under my personal little war against the administrators of domain). I was told that disabling GPC would not bad, if you can log on as an administrator, but apparently it can have some side effects, like preventing the firewall snap to load. The firewall service itself seems to start and work properly, though. The snap works fine if I re-enable the TPM service.

    My case is very specific and do not apply to the author of this thread, check in any case if the Group Policy Client service is started, just to be sure. More info can be found in recent posts from this thread:
