Windows 10: Completely turn off Windows Firewall in Windows 10

Prior to installing my ZoneAlarm, I wanna completely turn off my windows 10 firewall, for some reason, and it must be done only via registry:

Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Customize Settings

> Turn off Windows Firewall = For both Private and Public Networks!
How can I do it via registry? I found a snippet but didn't work for my Windows 10, am I somewhere wrong or it should have some changes to work?!
Cheers *Smile

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\Standard Profile]
"DisableNotifications"=dword:00000001
"DoNotAllowExceptions"=dword:00000001
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000

Wireless printer will not print in Windows 10

Okay, here's the latest. I've managed to get the printer to print but only if I turn my firewall off. As soon as I turn the firewall on, the printer goes offline. So Windows 10 somehow has managed to affect the firewall's behaviour.

I've tried telling the firewall software (McAfee) that the printer's IP address is trustworthy (set Type to "Home") but that had no effect. So, in a nutshell, Windows 10 will only acknowledge teh printer as being online if I turn my firewall off completely.

Does anyone have a solution for this new diagnosis of the problem?

 

Window 10 couldn't be installed Error Code 80070005

current system is Window 8.1. Tried to upgrade to Window 10 several times this week without success. The first attempt I think it asked me to turn off security software. So I turned off just the firewall, made no difference. Yesterday afternoon I turned
off Realtime Shield, Web shield, and Firewall, tried the upgrade again. about 9 hours later, download was completed but couldn't be installed. ???

 

Why registry? It's easy to do via Control Panel and should be something you only have to do once.

 

omg, must be from registry, to prepare a huge .reg file for preparing tens of OEM pcs each week and configure them right after installation just with a single click.
I don't know why most of my questions are answered by putting my question under another question!

 

I use a command for it, because it is one of those things, that can not be done via registry.

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

Note, that you could disable Windows Firewall service via registry, but it would also cripple store.
I used reg files as well, but batch files allow more commands, which are sometimes unavoidable.

You can use this to convert reg to bat: Reg Converter v1.0 Yogesh

 

Thanks TairikuOkami *Smile

 

Doesn't work for me through control panel. It just turns itself back on right away. I've tried it half a dozen times with the same result. It won't stay off. Got any other ideas?

 

I have the same problem, will post solution if I find one.

 

FYI - I am looking at the same issue and would appreciate any solution. I use Synergy to use a headless PC from my desktop and the Private profile has to be turned off to work, but it turns itself back on within seconds.

 

Found a fix. You need to disable the windows firewall service in services (services.msc) and restart your computer. *Smile

 

Yes, I know I can kill the firewall completely, but it's just the private profile that is causing my problem.

 

Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:

netsh advfirewall set PrivateProfile state off

That also disables Windows Updates and store app updates, so unless you update manually, I do not recommend it. *Nerd

 

Well, do you even bother if the firewall actually is on or not? Windows aint secure anyways lol

 

TairikuOkami - Thanks for the tip, but this is no different than using the Firewall settings to turn off the Private Firewall. Within seconds, Windows 10 turns it back on.
