Windows 10: Firewall and Defender Maybe still on

So a weird thing I am seeing with my system Win10 Pro 64-bit 1703. I installed Avast and Comodo and it appears that part of Windows recognizes it and other areas do not. If I go to the Control Panel > System & Security > Security Maintenance Windows 10 sees that Comodo is ON and that Avast is also on.

But in the start up area the Windows Defender shield has a red circle with an x in it. Clicking on that it says under Firewall & network protection it shows the attached called "Firewall"





I have another Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 1709 and it has all green check marks. On the main page you can see under Firewall & network security two things



Here you see the Firewall has the issue, but also under the Virus & threat protection it just says your using an A/V. Comparing that to my 1709, it states under the Virus & threat protection says "Open Avast Antivirus"

I got to this because of an email issue and troubleshot it to the Firewall. At first both Comodo and the Windows Firewall were both on. So I turned off the Windows one since I had Comodo and this started this whole thing.

I tried reinstalling both Avast and Comodo and no change. Not sure what else to do, any suggestions?

definition update for windows defender fails over and over in Windows 10

Here is what I did. I went to the "Setting" in Norton, disabled the firewall, and then I was able to update the Defender, Having advised that the update was successful, I then enabled the Norton Firewall. Since then I have not been advised of any failure
or (non failure) of Defender updates (like you maybe, I am on auto upate). I hope this help.

 

McAfee and windows defender issues?

Defender can scan om a periodic basis, so it is not "fully off".

This can be turned of fully using the defender settings.

Many mcafee user options where removed or changed when intel

bought the company, the reason I moved to another section.

Defender and windows firewall are more win10 friendly then 3rd party

programs, but in my opinion not as secure.

Using more then one antivirus-firewall maybe"ok" as far as win 10 -ms states,

but have had issues doing so in the past.
