Windows Firewall Turned off. Error 0x8007042c
The Underline issue is that I cannot turn on windows firewall.
Action Center can't turn it on, When i try to turn it on manually using recommended settings I get the message:
"Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x8007042c"
I have one important windows update (Definition Update for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB2310138 (Definition 1.283.2593.0)) that i cannot install, when I try I end up with the error message:
"Code 8007042C Windows Update encountered an unknown error."
I tried to manually start the service, which was stopped (startup type set to automatic), which results in this error message:
"Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start."
I checked the the dependencies and saw the the service "Base Filtering Engine" Had stopped. I try to start it and am greeted with:
"Error 5: Access is denied."
I don't know how to solve this. My antiviruses are F-Secure, and Microsoft Security Essentials.
