Hello I signed up to provide a Solution to the 'Cannot start Windows firewall service error windows could not start windows firewall on local computer error code 5.' problem. You can try this with the other error code you get whilst trying to start 'windows firewall' in the services menu.
The Solution is as follows:
Applies To
- In Registry Editor, browse to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess
- Right click SharedAccess, and click Permissions.
- Click Add.
- In the “Enter the object names to select” field, type “NT SERVICE\mpssvc”. Then clickCheck Names. The name should change to MpsSvc
- Click OK.
- Select Full Control in the Allow column.
- Click OK.
Windows 7 (all versions) / Windows Vista (all versions)
I will not be returning to this site for a while most likely. Good Luck!

THANKS BALON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 5 hours of spyware/virus scanning, google & micosoft tips, i stumbled across this post and it worked 100%!!!!!!!. The only problem is i have to go to another site via Google to find the reg files since the links are outdated and don't work so i go get them with links below
Download both the registry files
Windows firewall - Firewall
Base filtering engine - BFE
Launch them,You should get a UAC prompt now
Click YES & Restart your PC
Add me to the list of those who registered specifically to say, "THANK YOU Balon!!" :)
Hello thanks for all of of your help Balon. Quick question: I'm at the part that where I need both the registeries bfe.reg and firewall.reg. When I click on these two links in you post, I get a "page not found". Are those two links suppose to be a page somewhere online? Thank you!
Update: I just found my answer a couple of posts up and don't know how to delete this post. THANK YOU EVERYONE ON HERE ESPECIALLY BALON FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. It's a shame that we have to dig this deep to find an answer to something microsoft's own forums were utterly useless in fixing this. Im sticking to my ipad. I'm sick of windows!
