    Firewall Can't Be Turned On

    Most of us who are Insiders do not use 3rd party anti virus, I do not and I only use Windows Defender and MalwareBytes and have no problems.

    The one thing you can do is to get rid of McAfee by using their Uninstalling tool.

    Windows Firewall Service properties:

    To bad that no one can help me to fix my issue.The reason I removed Norton from my PC was I could install new fonts.Besides've heard a lot of good things about the effectiveness of Microsoft Defender.Now it looks like I have to come back my computer to its previous state and install Norton again.Thank you for your interest in the topic.

    Running SFC would not hurt, since Norton is quite messy bloatware.

    SFC Command - Run in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    To make sure, that the driver is allowed to run, run this in CMD as admin:

    reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mpsdrv" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

    To enable firewall and reset firewall rules:

    netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on
    netsh advfirewall reset

    To remove various policies, which could prevent it from running, it will reset everything:

    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /f
    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" /f
    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /f
    reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" /f

    I am sorry I didn't understand to much what did you write but I followed similar instruction:
    http://www.thewindowsclub.com/fix-wi...local-computer
    without any success.

    The problem is when I click Start button the Services window (exclamation mark in a yellow triangle) appears and OK button in Firewall properties window is inactive.

    I meant Repair Install. I had read that Reset did sometimes mess up the system.
    See tutorial posted earlier.

    Let's get one fact clear.
    You have Windows 10 running now, yes ?
    If yes, is it activated ?

    If you are running Windows 10 and it is activated, then follow this method..............
    Please make sure you do follow it to the letter.

    Use this Tech Bench link and download the Windows 10 iso file:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...brrWLRbagYCa0w

    scroll down to Select Edition > click the pointer at the right and select Windows 10 > click Confirm.
    click the pointer and select Language > make sure you pick the same language the computer is now running > click Confirm
    select the bit version, 32 or 64-bit. Make sure you select the same bit version as the computer is now running.
    at the bottom, click the pointer next to Save > click Save As > navigate to a folder of your choice > click the chosen folder > click Save
    The iso will start downloading to your chosen folder.
    When it is done, go to that folder > open the folder > right click at the iso file > click Mount > click Setup.exe
    Installation will begin.
    It will allow you to keep you files, settings and apps.
    No product key is required.
    Activation will be automatic.
