Windows 10: How to disable Firewall & Network Protection Notifications

Hello, I would like to disable the windows 10 Firewall & Network Protection notification from asking me every few minutes to turn it back on. I have done many searches online and done everything that others have listed to fix this problem but after everything I can, it still continues to pop up asking me to enable it.


I do not wish to use this feature, at all.


The only conclusion that I have come down to is that there is one setting I cannot find, but I think it was merged into another one through a Windows 10 update. And that notification is the "Enhanced Notifications" in the Windows Defender settings that I have seen a few youtube videos and posts on.


Please tell me how to kill this notification for good.

:)

Hi Patrick,

Here's the steps on how you can disable Windows Firewall using Group Policy Editor:

• Type gpedit.msc on the search bar.
• Expand Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Windows Firewall folders by clicking the arrow to the left of each folder.
• Under Windows Firewall folder, select Standard Profile.
• On the right pane of the group-policy editor windows, double-click Windows Firewall: Protect All Network Connections.
• Click Disabled and then OK.
• Under Windows Firewall folder, select Domain Profile.
• On the right pane of the group-policy editor windows, double-click Windows Firewall: Protect All Network Connections.
• Click Disabled and then OK.

Windows Defender - Firewall and Network Protection

Windows Firewall Notifications. I have done something stupid in looking at options to permit a single piece of software connect through the internet. I didn't sort that problem, but in that process within Windows Defender (Firewall and Network Protection
- Firewall Notification Settings) I have left the Windows Firewalls Notifications section "off" (when it previously was "on") and I can't get it altered. By changing that Windows Firewall Notification to "on" and then acknowledging "yes" to the User Control
enquiry, it gets modified: but it reverts immediately back to "off" as soon as the Windows Defender is closed (and reopened). How can I get Windows Firewall Notifications to stay "on"??

The "private (discoverable) firewall" and "Public (non-discoverable) firewall" are also currently both unticked on that Firewall Notification Settings page, under the above Windows Firewalls Notification. But even if both ticked, the change is not permanently
accepted (as above).

And on the Firewall and Network Protection summary page, both the Private (discoverable) network and Public (non-discoverable) network show "network is not connected" - I'm not certain of their status when I started on my aborted software internet task,
but I do have McAfee operating, so I presume its operation has left these "not connected".

Can anyone help on the Firewalls Notification problem - moving its permanently to "On"
