    This may have been disabled on your computer, particularly if you are in a Domain (e.g.: at work, in a library, etc).

    However assuming that you have Administrator rights to your computer you should be able to turn it on and off by going to Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Turn Windows Firewall on or off.

    If you cannot turn the Firewall off through the above approach try the following Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

    Looks for the 'Windows Firewall' Service, double click it, then click on 'Stop'.

    From within the Service properties you can also stop the Firewall from starting with Windows, etc.

    * Download the Farbar Service Scanner.

    * Once download, right click the fss.exe file, and choose run as administrator.

    *Checkmark the following boxes:

    -Internet services
    -Windows firewall
    -System Restore
    -Security center/action center
    -Windows Update
    -Windows defender

    *Click Scan. A notepad window will appear with your log file. Save it to the desktop. Then upload the log here in your next reply using the paperclip on the reply box.
