I get an error 0x6D9 code when I try to start the Windows Firewall.

Original title: the firewall of Windows 7 sp1

Hi, I have Windows 7 sp1, and I ran Norton 360 for a year (don't know if that accounts for nothing). Now when I try and turn on the firewall of Windows I get error Code 0x6D9. I went through the solutions posted some time ago, but whenever I try to turn on the firewall, it says use firewalls to update the recommended settings, but it won't do anything. Can anyone help because people seem to say that the Windows Firewall is better than a free.

Hi Jim,.

Thank you for keeping us posted.

I would have you look at the responses of the wire-

  • I get the error code 5 when I try to start the Windows Firewall

    Original title: Windows 7 x 64 firewall won't start, tried everything

    Hi, ive tried enough what was described in the first 10 pages google search, but I cannot get rid of the known problem of firewalls

    For me, this is the error code 5.

    As soon as I try to start it manually, it says cannot be started.... error code 5.
    I did a system win7 files repair, I did a reset of network, I tried about 30 different commands to display information about the firewall service, ive checked the firewall authority loading driver, I gave permission to complete firewall of all registry directories described, ive created entirely new firewall rules 1:1 to the default ones, ive checked other 'ordinary' process runs in the firewall service and and and.

    NOTHING helped me.

    Others facing this problem actually get another error for the first code after a few solutions, they also face the "error code 5.
    Oh yes, I also tried the microsoft firewall tool.
    He says theres a problem with the firewall, but can not solve.

    I never had no infection or OneCare / 3rd Personal Firewall running.

    And because I can't deal with that firewall, I also can not use transferred ports - which is terrible bad since im was the owner of a local game server.
    But that happened in ive faced the problem as it was half a year ago. And I can't be solved without format my drive.

    Because you guys are part of Microsoft personnel - and has got the possibility to contact the developers - why cant you just create a firewall package with latest updates that crushes real files/settings in order to solve problems that are found by your own tool?

    Its a shame, I hope that you can offer me new solution :(

    -You are using a third-party firewall software?
    At no time.

    Was there the recent changes on your computer before the show?
    No, not at the time the problem occurred, also not 1-2 weeks before.

    Method 1:
    Returns the error Code 5, as I indicated in my problem

    Method 2:
    Tried 2 - 3 times yesterday, , everything including the Microsoft Tool to automatically fix problems.

    Method 3:
    I've done a complete check-up and recover system, no modified files files have been found.

    Also, the batch file to start/restar services:
    SC config start = auto MpsSvc - success
    SC config start = auto KeyIso - success
    BFE sc config = auto start - success
    SC config start = auto FwcAgent - fail ' [SC] OpenService error 1060 - service is not installed.

    net stop MpsSvc - Service not started
    net start MpsSvc - cannot be started - error Code 5

    the rest - success, but still, the firewall service does not.

    Seems that the firewall service or part of it gots uninstalled something?
    Perhaps in the case of update?

    Also I can't find no "FwcAgent" file in my system drive while showing the system hidden files and folders.

    I guess that's NORMAL given that verification of files windows did not find any changes.
    Theres no light at the end? Really?

    Moreover, the hotline also could not help (and you get his terrible btw, managed a total noob). The suggestions here are much "deeper", still nothing worked again.

    EDIT:
    Looking around the means how to re - install the firewall component windows I found another unofficial repair tool.

    It fits quite all associated in any way with the security settings and firewall components, as it recreates all the rules and rights of dirs and registry keys.

    And what should I write - it WORKED.
    Let me share with you: http://www.tweaking.com/index.php?/content/page/repair_windows_firewall.html

    AND YES:
    Someone should stick this tool in front of microsoft developers, but the hard way.
    How is it, some hobby programmers can create these simple tools that beat anything from microsoft developers?

    I hope that my solution works for the many thousand other ppl that I found on the net - who could not solve their problem (even) with the firewall in vista/windows7.

  • I keep on getting error 0x6D9 and 0 x 80070424 code when you try to activate my windows firewall, also my mcafee firewall does not work.

    I keep on getting error 0x6D9 and 0 x 80070424 code when you try to activate my windows firewall, also my mcafee firewall does not work. I have Windows 7 and it started only caused since last week. Can someone give me an idea on how to solve this problem?

    When you have McAfee running, he provided the Firewall & automatically deleted the Windows Firewall.   Panel\Windows Firewall control page should have shown a message say.  If you managed to change the settings for the Windows Firewall then you might have corrupted both the McAfee & Windows Firewall.

    I really think you should try a restore for some time point before you tried modifications, if that is even possible.

    If you have uninstalled McAfee Control Panel, programs, then you must also run the Tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal or you will get several unpredictable problems.

    If you still have problems after running the McAfee tool then it could be the result of the previous Windows Firewall changes & the corruption of the system resulting.  Your system is in an unknown state as a result of these changes.

    You can try running SFC/scannow in an admin command prompt, but it wouldn't do any good.

    You may need to use the installation DVD to do a repair installation.  I hope get you lucky, but you may need to do a complete reinstall of Windows.

  • "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" when you try to change the Windows Firewall settings.

    Original title: WINDOWS firewall

    I GET A MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS - "DUE TO A PROBLEM NOT IDENTIFIED, WINDOWS CANNOT DISPLAY WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    IN ADDITION, I USE AVG INTERNET SECURITY 2013 AND THAT THE FIREWALL IS ENABLED AND I SEEM TO BE PROTECTED.

    Documentation AVG Internet Security 2013 States:

    Recommendation:

    Generally it is not recommended to use more than one firewall on a single computer. Computer security is not enhanced if you install several firewalls. It is more likely that some conflicts between these two applications will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you use only one firewall on your computer and disable all others, thus eliminating the risk of potential conflicts and problems related to this.

    You can read the AVG documentation by clicking on this link, and see section 6.5:

    http://AA-download.Avg.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Internet_Security/avg_isc_uma_en_2013_06.PDF

    So, if you are using AVG firewall, it's wise to just disable the XP firewall for more than a firewall running at the same time can lead to performance problems.  Choose one or the other, but not both.

    I thought installing AVG would understand this by itself, and you know what to do (used to) but I do not want to install AVG to see.
