Turning Windows Firewall off changes Network discovery File sharing on


I've recently upgraded to windows 10. I use Bitdefender 2015, and have installed the latest compatible version for windows 10, after uninstalling previous using their uninstall tool, and also doing a repair.

In the Security and Maintenance panel it states Windows Firewall is off and Bitdefender Firewall is on.

In the Windows Firewall panel however, it states that for Private Networks and Guest and Public networks, Windows Firewall is turned on. (I'm using Public)

When I try to disable Windows Firewall, it turns on Network Discovery and File Sharing however, which I do not want.
When I turn Network Discovery and File Sharing back off again, it turns Windows Firewall back on, BUT only in the Security and Maintenance panel.

For me, this is very confusing and I don't know whether Windows Firewall is actually on or not, and why I can't change discovery and sharing settings without changing firewall / vice versa. If one's needed for the other I thought it would be disabled, not change the other automatically

Would be grateful for any help or knowledge about this. Thanks

 

Tried everything to get network discovery on.

Hello Plshelp123 .

Type network in the search and choose Network and Sharing Center in the list to open it.

After this select Change advanced sharing settings to move on.

You should choose Turn on network discovery on.

Save changes.

Let me know how this goes
