  2. Windows 10 account problems and Windows firewall problems get the error code 0x800706D9

    Hi,

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    The error “0x800706D9” will result when the Windows Firewall/ICS service is in a stopped state.

    As you are facing issues with the Xbox app and the Windows Firewall I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download and run the app troubleshooter from the below link and check.

    The app troubleshooter will automatically notify you if there’s a problem with an app and try to fix the problem. If you continue experiencing problems with an app, or if you're unable to open the Store, try running the
    Apps troubleshooter.

    This tool can automatically identify and fix some problems with apps and the Store.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

    Method 2:

    This error is by design. Most users who want to disable the Windows Firewall will use the Windows Firewall wizard and set the firewall to "Off" rather than disabling the Firewall/ICS service directly. When the Windows Firewall/ICS service is stopped you
    cannot even launch the Windows Firewall wizard.

    Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows Key + R for Run.
    • Type devmgmt.msc and then Enter.
    • Right click on the Windows firewall and then set it to
      Automatic.
    Hope this information is helpful. If you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you

  3. Windows Update error 0x800706d9


    I found out from some searching that this error relates to Windows Firewall. I read another Windows 10 user's post on one of these many 0x800706d9 threads on the Microsoft site that the fix is to re-enable Windows Firewall in Services. Right-click it, select Properties, set startup to Automatic, and click Start. You should be able to update now.

  4. Cannot change windows firewall settings - error 0x800706d9

    Unable to turn ON Windows Firewall, returns error code 0x800706d9

    From few days, I've been getting notification that Windows Firewall isn't turned on.

    When I try to turn it on, a pop up message comes saying "Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings, Error code 0x800706d9"

    After some searching around I found that service should be set to automatic, but as I checked it's already set to automatic.

    The issue was that the service shows "starting....." but never really starts the whole time.

    I read other threads regarding the same but were dated more than 5 yrs ago and the methods didn't work

    Help me out here!
