Windows 10: Notification message on every boot: Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall are both turned...

For the past year that I've had my laptop, I've always been greeted a few minutes after login with a notification that reads:


"View firewall options

Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall are both turned off. Tap or click to see available options."


I get a similar message from McAfee WebAdvisor every time I open my browser.


Going to the McAfee LiveSafe app reveals that my firewall is actually on.







***Modified Title from: “View firewall options” notification every time I log in.***

Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall are both turned off

You should get rid of the McAfee software completely, as it will sooner or later lead to grief (if it hasn't already). The built-in Windows Defender and firewall should be all you need.

 

Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall are both turned off

Have just started using Windows 10 (after years on Windows 8) and am generally happy with it, but I am constantly getting a notification telling me that "Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall are both turned off; tap or click to see available options".

But I go to Windows Security, under in Firewall & network protection it says "no actions needed" ... and "Firewall is on".

So what gives? How do I stop this silly message appearing?

 

McAfee firewall turns itself off

I have a Dell laptop upgraded to Windows 10. I received an update on 2/11/16. Since then my McAfee firewall turns off on its on and I have to manually turn it on again every time.

It makes no difference if the MS Windows Defender firewall is on or not. The McAfee firewall just does its on thing.

McAfee told me they could not help because I was using a Verizon Hotspot. It isn't a public hotspot, it is my own personal one.

So kind of wondering what to do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Richard A.
