Windows 10: Unable to Turn on Windows Firewall & McAfee Firewall

Hi,


I'm using McAfee Total Protection for my device. But, I'm getting notification on my device that Both Firewall has been turned Off. But, while checking on McAfee, it shows Firewall status as ON. But, on my device, Firewall status shows, it is in ON state. While, checking it shows, It's using Windows Defender Firewall.





But, on security providers, it shows Both McAfee & Windows Defender Firewall has been turned off. Even on Antivirus, it shows it's using Windows Defender Antivirus. I checked McAfee settings, it shows both Antivirus & Firewall has been turned on. Don't know whats the issue? Requesting to kindly help me on this issue. Thanks in Advance.

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,

Windows Firewall/McAfee Firewall one and the same?

I am having many problems with my machine. Example Start button, search and Edge do not work.

I looked in "Services" and found the following.

McAfee Firewall.....ON

Windows Firewall..ON

Windows Defender.....OFF

Believing there may be a conflict I attempted to turn OFF the Windows Firewall BUT

was told if I turned off "Windows Firewall" then McAfee Firewall will also NOT work.

Does anyone know IF both Firewalls should show to be ON?

Thanks

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.
