Windows 10: I get a notification for "Firewall and Network Protection"

I have 2 issues with Windows Firewall.


1 I get a notification for "Firewall and Network Protection"

Turn on Windows Firewall

Windows Firewall is turned off

Tap or click to turn it on



By tapping it takes me to the settings page that says the firewall in ON




2 I go to "Firewall & Network protection" and see...

No action needed



Then under Firewall & Network I see ...

Domain Network - Firewall On

Private Network active - Firewall On

Public Network - Firewall On



Then I go to "Manage Providers" I see ...

Antivirus - Microsoft Defender Antivirus is turned on

Firewall - No providers

Web Protection - No providers



How do fix or add providers?

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"

 

How to disable Firewall & Network Protection Notifications

* Merged

For some reason I cant post in my old thread anymore, so I'm recreating to get this resolved.

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.
