    Windows Firewall Settings


    Hello, awesome SevenForums people

    Have a bit of a problem with my 'Windows Firewall'.

    As you can see here, my 'Change settings' button is grayed-out. I don't know what to do, does anyone know why I can't access it?

    The Change Settings tab will be highlighted if you make any changes.
    For ex; check Homegroup and the Change Settings tab will then be available.

    If you change it TOO SOON, this could happen to your DeskTop
