Firewall Windows 8 will not start!

Hello

Install Windows 8 on my computer of Jan 2013 end.

However, cannot install any window of Windows 8 store Apps because W8 firewall switch. It is red mode. Spent several hours on this issue and this issue is not listed in W8 support.

I already know the usual route is to go in Panel bases/system security/firewall/put to update the firewall settings. Nothing happens, remains red.
I updated my computer.
I restored to the previous day.
Current time & Date correct.
Services (Local) Windows Firewall readings... Auto... Local service.

I read that this firewall issue is a common problem with the W8. Should I just uninstall the firewall (can I?) and download Zone Alarm? My firewall is corrupt? I'd rather have it works.

Jules: (o)

Hi Jules,.

Thank you for choosing Windows 8 and for giving us the opportunity to help you.

I'll go ahead and try to help you to configure the firewall on your computer to be able to install apps on the store Windows.

(1) did you make any changes before the show?

(2) using any internet proxy server?

Step 1: You can go to the home screen, press the Windows key + W and type firewall, and then click settings in the right pane. Click on Windows Firewall. Click default settings (you may need to provide administrator privileges).

Step 2: Check if the Windows Firewall service is running?

a. go in run (Windows key + R) and type services.msc

b. look for Windows Firewall and check if the Windows Firewall service is running.

Step 3: Those using another Antivirus software:

Make sure that your antivirus software does not have its own firewall. If it isn't automatically turn off Windows Firewall.

I'd also check the links below:

Why can't find or install the application on the Windows Store?

  • Windows Vista will not start or repair.

    Greetings!

    I'm having a problem with my computer. About 2 weeks, my Windows Vista out of nowhere began to fail in the market with the infamous and hated "cannot start Windows, a recent hardware or software may have... "and the options of start that none who work. I tried to fix it several times, but Windows would only start for an hour or two, and then the screen would go black. When I tried to start up, he would go back to the Windows cannot start message.

    Hi noblesb,

    First disconnect the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard.

    I suggest that you try the startup repair using the windows vista installation disc.

    1. Insert the installation disc.
    2. restart your computer.
    3. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
    4. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    5. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    6. click on repair your computer.
    7. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    8. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
     
    Check out the link for more information below.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problem

    If the previous step fails then check if the computer is able to boot into the advanced boot options.

  • Windows Vista will not start and cannot recover

    I have a desktop PC HP Compaq Presario, which has about 2 years. The problem started when Windows Vista was not able to start. It would load up on the "COMPAQ" screen and then it would just go to a slider black white screen with a flashing white light on the top left. Now that I've seen a lot of discussions with this similar problem, but it seems that people would rather not reformat in order to lose any important data. But in my situation, I have some important data on my computer so reformatting would be fine, except...

    -Recovery system won't work. I insert the 1 system recovery disk, all files loading correctly, it allows me to choose if I want to reset the computer to factory settings, I click Yes and it finishes the reformatting step. But then the problem comes when I insert disc 2, original content relocation step. It fills up to 10-16% and then I get a blue screen of death STOP: 0 x 00008086. I tried SEVERAL times and the same thing happens.

    -The next thing I tried to do is to fix the computer via a copy burned Windows Startup Repair. Loads everything up, I spent the page where I choose my language, currency, etc. The problem comes when I get to the System Recovery Options. There is no listed BONES and a box appears and says "Searching for Windows installations", and then it stalls just on this pop up. This problem is quite recent, because before there is no pop up and there is simply no OS listed, so I still could not repair or restore in any case.

    -Before, when I was able to go into the advanced options on the Startup Repair disk (when he was not of "searching for Windows installations" pop up to stall on), I'd go to the command prompt in attempt to chkdsk/r C:. All bad sectors or groups or something else would be fixed, and then he would hold to step 5 of 5 when checking free space.

    -In addition, I tried to make a diagnosis of memory via the Startup Repair tool. That's what I get:

    File: \boot\memtest.exe

    Status: 0xc000000f

    Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt


    Furthermore, I cleaned my computer, it is now almost completely free of dust. In addition, I can't get into the BIOS, I can't get into safe mode, and now I can't have in the command line

    Hello

    If you are unable to enter the BIOS and all the other problems, you have hardware problems
    and need the help of a real store of the computer (no leeks and glances at a Best Buy or any other
    Department stores) or Support of HP/Compaq.

  • Windows Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

    My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows.  All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point.  This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States.  Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge.  I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
