I can't turn on the firewall of Windows 8.

Hello

I've been playing with this for weeks, I finally installed a third-party firewall, but without the firewall of Windows applications running Metro are inaccessible.
I get no error message, the message 'access denied '.
I tried through Services and all other means possible, but when I look at the error report as suggested when I try and turn it on all I get is.
I run as administrator with full rights under tension.
He did run when I got to my new computer and I don't know when or why he stopped.
I just noticed one day that it has been disabled.
I have run all kinds of malware and turned up nothing.
Since Defender is not a piece of software in 8 stand-alone as it was at 7 I see no way to uninstall it and reinstall it again to reset it as it was initially.
Anyone have an idea how I can reset it without having to perform a recovery to until I installed and implemented all my over 40 software programs.
If I can't I'll have to continue to run Comodo and ignore Metro applications completely, and it's that actually works very well for me.
I would like to just make it work the way it's supposed to.
Thanks for the help.
Mike

Hello

I just say that I finally got this problem.
At the suggestion of a poster on forum Windows 8, I looked at how services work had their permissions in place.
I went to services, found a service that was running and looked at how the configured permissions and compared to the firewall.
I then copied all these settings for the Windows Firewall settings manually, and the firewall has finally started working.
I have no idea why the settings were different, but it was what was killing the service.
I just had to go through each setting and change them as they were the same for both services.
Taking a series of screenshots helped so I didn't have to keep switching back and forth between them.

Here is a link to the post that has solved this problem for me.

  • Can not turn on the firewall...

    Whenever I try to turn on my firewall, I gives me an error for letting me know that Windows could not process the request. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and I think it's probably a virus.

    Your laptop has an overheating problem (something that you did not clear before that).

    So that should be your main concern.

    As soon as possible (if you haven't already), copy all your personal documents and files on an offline support (USB, flash or CD/DVD drive external HARD disk drive).

    The laptop is apparently reached the end of its useful life.

    You can get a quote on repair of the material and compare the cost of a new pc. You want to check a good local reputation to small not big-Box-store shop on quote.

    Before you know it, our assumption was that she had a malware infection and who had been my main goal. The assumption is still legitimate because you reported punches a.

    You can consider a notebook cooler (of an electronics store) to mitigate the heat problem, but that will probably be only slightly lower. The laptop hard drive may be causing the overheating.

  • McAfee Firewall will stay not on; Cannot turn on the firewall of Windows 7; Computer keeps restarting; and I can't access a file because my computer says I don't have permission

    I use McAfee Firewall as my firewall.  Now when I try to turn it on, it continues for less than a second, then turns off.  Firewall Windows also not be.

    My computer rebooting in itself guard so I can't complete a virus scan.  In one place, he suggested I have try in Safe Mode, but it didn't work (and he told me that it did not work because I couldn't connect to the internet).  I tried "Safe Mode with networking" and he would not even let me scan.

    Another thing, the last time that I tried to scan it got stuck on "Internet C:\Windows\SysWOW64A\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary / / Desktop.ini.  This makes me think that this could be the problem, so I tried to get him to put the file in "VirusTotal.  I was able to get to him before that I got the idea to put it in "VirusTotal" but now it won't let me and he says:

    "You don't have currently not allowed to access this folder."

    "Click Conitnue to have permanent access to this folder."

    When I try to click on "Continue", it only ever through.

    I tried to change the 'Owner' under 'Security' tab but it still doesn't work, so I can't check to see if the file is a virus.

    Should I try to download a new antivirus program to scan my computer?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong category.  I have so many problems, it is not easy to categorize.

    Uninstalling McAfee completely.

    Do not use any product that claims to make your computer run better.  Almost all of them are either false, themselves, an infection, or put your computer at risk. Delete everything that claims to be there to prevent the infections or pretends to make your computer work better, except for the singular than an antivirus product.

    It is a controversial topic, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

    When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

    I pick up after about 150 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.  My clients rarely know infections.

    Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on most of these PCs to date and has never been a problem, and it has been on a course of about 11 months now...  It is a better product than Norton.  It is also cheap. One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  Especially if silenced you its function "portfolio".

    My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS causing more problems than any profit that they bring and work mainly by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  The problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

    As I said, this is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

    Please note.  You should never have more than one protection software installed.  Always make sure that you completely remove the firmware all protection before installing a new one.  That contains software that may have come preinstalled on your computer when it's new

    Totally impossible to delete most of all AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  • Cannot turn on the firewall of windows 7

    I just got a new Dell computer. For some reason, I can't turn on windows firewall 7. The option is not grayed out, but when I click on 'recommended use of parameters' nothing happens. I did a full scan with Windows Security Essentials and there is no virus.

    Hello
     
    To resolve this problem, you will need to follow these methods provided below.
     
    Method 1: Please run "services.msc", "Event controller Windows" stop first and then make sure that "Base filtering engine" service is started.
    On the Start Menu, type devmgmt.msc, and then open Device Manager. On the view tab, select "Devices by connection" and put a check next to "Show hidden devices". Search for the Windows Firewall authorization driver (there will be a gear icon gold). Double-click on that and on the driver tab, make sure that the startup type is set to "Application".
    Then start the service "Windows Firewall" and see if the problem is resolved.
     
    Method 2: The driver of the authorization (mdsdrv.sys) firewall is a system protected Windows file. You can run the tool File Checker system and if the file is found to be damaged, it will be replaced.
    Proceed with caution.
    Go to start / all programs / accessories.
    Right-click on the element "Command Prompt" and select the "Run as Administrator" option.
    Click on 'Continue' in the UAC prompt.
    In the command window, type the following command.
     SFC/SCANNOW
    Press ENTER.
     
    This will take a few minutes to complete. Try not to use the computer during execution of SFC.
    When the tool is finished, restart the computer and review the firewall options.
    Let me know the results.

  • Cannot install updates or turn on the firewall. Need help please

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit service pack 2 and I'm unable to install the updates, this is the case since December 2011.  I received the error code 80096001. I tried to run the Fix - It, but it does nothing.  Help, please!  Also, I can't turn on the firewall.  I scanned for malware with Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and none is found.

    Thank you, but who has not helped either, so I finally had to use Recovery Manager to wipe the drive and reinstall Vista again. So far so good.

    Original title: my firewall is blocked by group policy, how can we turn it on please don't declare the obvious ive tried that.

    Hi Roy,

    Please contact the Microsoft Community.

    You can not turn on the Windows Firewall on the computer. It can be difficult when something that is important to you does not work as expected. It's pretty simple and we're here to help you solve the problem. We work as a team and get this sorted out.

    Please answer these questions-

    (1) what exactly happens when you enable the Windows Firewall?

    (2) what is the antivirus installed on the computer?

    (3) where are informed that security is controlled by group policy? What is the full error message in this respect?

    (4) what is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    (5) did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

     

    Assuming that you are running Windows 7 on the computer, I could suggest some common troubleshooting steps.

    Method 1-

    I wish that you are running the fixit-

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_firewall_diagnostic/en-us

     

     

    Method 2-

     

     

    I recommend you to perform a clean boot.

    Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: You must follow the step 3 of the article to return the computer to a Normal startup after you perform all the troubleshooting steps.

     

    Now try to turn on the firewall.

  • Can't turn on my firewall.

    I was wondering why I can't turn on my firewall. I have windows Vista on a laptop Dell Vostro 1700. I have webroot antivirus with antispyware 'Required by the work' and it doesn't tell me if it is a firewall program.  I turn on my windows firewall, but this program that prevents.  When I try to turn it on it just says that it cannot turn on the firewall.  Any help would be great thanks, Nick

    HI NICKLC

    This is for Vista
    * Open Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then click Windows Firewall.
    * Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    * Click on (recommended), and then click OK.

    NOTE
    If you want the firewall to block everything, including the programs selected on the Exceptions tab, select the block all incoming connections checkbox.
