Windows 10: Annoying Firewall/Security/Network protection off notifications

They are not actually turned off according to the third party app I am using. I am attaching a screenshot to make it more clear:

Thank you for your help.

Windows Firewall security alert keeps popping up.

Hello,

Windows Firewall plays an important part in helping to protect your computer against virus and security threats. Your concern is cause by a conflicting changes in your security settings. However we suggest that you turn off Security messages for Network
firewall temporarily to check if the issue persists. Follow these steps:

• Click Start menu.
• Type Control Panel.
• Choose System and Security > Security and Maintenance.
• On the left side, click Change Security and Maintenance settings.
• Uncheck the box on the left side of Network firewall.
• Restart your computer.

After an hour, enable Network firewall again. We also recommend that you use another browser and check if the issue persists.

Note: If you disable Windows Firewall for a long period of time, your computer will be more vulnerable to unauthorized access to your network.

Thanks.

 

Windows Defender - Firewall and Network Protection

Windows Firewall Notifications. I have done something stupid in looking at options to permit a single piece of software connect through the internet. I didn't sort that problem, but in that process within Windows Defender (Firewall and Network Protection
- Firewall Notification Settings) I have left the Windows Firewalls Notifications section "off" (when it previously was "on") and I can't get it altered. By changing that Windows Firewall Notification to "on" and then acknowledging "yes" to the User Control
enquiry, it gets modified: but it reverts immediately back to "off" as soon as the Windows Defender is closed (and reopened). How can I get Windows Firewall Notifications to stay "on"??

The "private (discoverable) firewall" and "Public (non-discoverable) firewall" are also currently both unticked on that Firewall Notification Settings page, under the above Windows Firewalls Notification. But even if both ticked, the change is not permanently
accepted (as above).

And on the Firewall and Network Protection summary page, both the Private (discoverable) network and Public (non-discoverable) network show "network is not connected" - I'm not certain of their status when I started on my aborted software internet task,
but I do have McAfee operating, so I presume its operation has left these "not connected".

Can anyone help on the Firewalls Notification problem - moving its permanently to "On"
