    Pop-up : "Windows firewall and Comodo firewall are both turned off."


    Every time I start my PC lately, I get a Windows notification that pops up in my action center that says:

    "Windows firewall and Comodo firewall are both turned off. Tap or click to see available options"

    Clicking it asks me if I want to turn on either one. Why does this keep happening? It only started up a few weeks ago and it's driving me nuts.

    Comodo is not turned off. It starts normally. I'm thinking this probably started when I ran a recent Windows update, but I can't pin down an exact date when I started noticing this.

  2. can't turn on windows 10 firewall

    My new PC came with McAfee, but I've started to get daily notification warnings that virus protection and firewall are off even though the McAfee app says they're on, so I just switched to Defender however widows firewall won't turn on. There are no error
    messages. When I go to control panel and select security and maintenance, it shows "Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall are both tuned off". When I click on "View firewall options", and then click "Turn on Windows Firewall", nothing happens. What to do?

    Can't Install ANY Fonts in Windows 10

    I had the same problem on my Win10 pro 64bit 1607, and turn on Windows Firewall didn't work for me.

    It turns out it's caused by an old version of COMODO Firewall (10.0.0.xxxx, can't remember the exact version) in my case.

    After I uninstalled COMODO Firewall the problem is gone, I can preview and install fonts now (even with Windows Firewall turning off).

    I also re-installed the latest version of COMODO (currently 10.0.1.6223) later and everything is still working fine.

    I already have Malwarebytes installed and both that and Avast report no infections. I also have RogueKiller already installed.

    I see this is an issue that has been mentioned on a lot of sites over the past year.

    I hate to have to reinstall Comodo if it isn't necessary since it's a pain in the neck with all the custom rules I have. As I said, it's running fine, so I doubt it's a Comodo issue. I have also seen this problem mentioned for other firewalls, so it sounds more like a Windows issue to me.

    According to Roguekiller, the only items of interest are:

    Registry :

    [PUP] (X64) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{10921475-03CE-4E04-90CE-E2E7EF20C814} (C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\IObit Uninstaller\UninstallExplorer.dll) -> Found

    [PUM.StartMenu] (X64) HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-259315711-135808733-1410077375-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced | Start_TrackProgs : 0 -> Found

    [PUM.StartMenu] (X86) HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-259315711-135808733-1410077375-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced | Start_TrackProgs : 0 -> Found


    Tasks :

    [Suspicious.Path|VT.Unknown] \NvDriverUpdateCheckDaily_{B2FE1952-0186-46C3-BAEC-A80AA35AC5B8} -- C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\nvcontainer.exe (-d "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvDriverUpdateCheck" -l 3 -f C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA\NvContainerDriverUpdateCheck.log) -> Found

    I went in and disabled the NVidia scheduled tasks, just because I don't need them running all the time. IObit uninstaller is fine.

    The only things I'm not sure of is those 2 I bolded, but they appear to be Windows-related, so I'm not touching those.

  6. Uninstall all third-party antivirus and firewall programs except Comodo and see issue resolves.

    This might be due to some incompatible drivers present along with Comodo Firewall's Driver.

    If you still experience this problem, then please remove the latest installed software or driver files to see if that resolves the issue.

    Install latest versions of device drivers from your computer manufacturer website.

    Why would the drivers all of a sudden be incompatible? i haven't done anything different. Everything has always been fine up until a couple weeks ago. I still think this is more of a Windows issue than a Comodo issue. I've had Comodo on my PC for 2 years and never had this issue before. I think the latest Windows update had something to so with it.

    And today, the PC started up fine without the Windows notification. So it doesn't always seem to do it - it seems to happen most of the time now, but sometimes it doesn't.

    Pop-up : "Windows firewall and Comodo firewall are both turned off."

    I have used Comodo for probably 15 years or so on many different PC's and consider it to be the best firewall around.

    I know about what you are referring too but I don't get a notification.....What I have noticed is say I open WD and then it says there that the firewall's(stock & Comodo)are both turned off then say I click on the health report then back to home then bam it now says the firewall is on with the green check next to it ?.

    I currently have 4 PC's in my home but have only noticed it on 1 PC but then I'm not really looking for it on the other ones either by doing it the way I just referred to above maybe because I myself mainly use that one PC.

    Anyway I myself am not going to worry much about it because like you said Comodo is not turned off and it will probably get sorted out in the near future.....But if I figure anything out about this I will surely respond back to this thread.

    I guess there's no fix for this. I thought this would be ironed out by now.
