    That actually worked! Thanks!

    I had uninstalled 360 essentials and ran a malware scan with defender and MBAM and then noticed that Defender would not update and Windows Update had started showing the same error as the Firewall and found that other people have been reporting this same behavior to the Microsoft help boards since Feb with no solution from them so I was going to try this not expecting it to work and then plan on doing a Refresh install but all seems good now *Cool

    When the program loads no need to do the 'proper reset' or reboot into safe mode just go to the 'Repairs' tab and 'open repairs'. I unchecked everything except repair Windows Firewall and Repair Windows Update and let it do its thing and then reboot and everything works.

    Can't start Windows Firewall service

    I tried the exact same thing as you and it didn't work. I even can't open the 'Services.msc' anymore...
    I don't know what to do next

    EDIT: The services just opened. I'm going to try to start the firewall

    EDIT 2: IT WORKED!!! Thanks everyone who wanted to help me ;-)

    So you did manage to start the Firewall through the services.msc. Yes ?

    I just had this happen again and this time the program linked earlier did not fix the problem. It happened right after I ran ccleaner after uninstalling another program. I ran the ccleaner registry cleaner and 2 of the registry errors had to do with invalid firewall rules related to the uninstalled program so I let it delete the fw rules. I rebooted the PC and the firewall would not start no matter what I tried.
