    Hello Roxsen,

    What anti-virus do you have?

    Some anti-viruses may conflict with Windows Firewall and stop it from working.

    You could possibly try running the Windows Firewall troubleshooter from Microsoft: Diagnose and fix Windows Firewall service problems automatically

    Thank you,

    Hello Roxsen,

    Are you able to do a System Restore back to when the issue wasn't occurring?

    Did the issue occur straight-away after you bought the computer?
    Or did you make any changes?
