    Windows Firewall service not starting after Creator's Update

    Checked the system event log? It might tell you why the firewall service is failing to start automatically. "Base Filtering Engine" is one of the dependencies.. it should be set to "Automatic" start.

    Windows 10 BFE (Base Filtering Engine) service does not run on startup

    I'm not using third-party software (anti-virus and firewall). Third-party apps wouldn't work without the base filtering engine anyway.

    Mind you, my other laptops and PCs don't have this problem. It's really odd.

    Reverting back to the Anniversary Edition of Win10, eliminates the problem. But i figured the time has come to move on... Lets see what the Fall Creators edition will bring...

    What is this "Base Filtering Engine" service ?

    Hello Raiz, *Smile

    The Base Filtering Engine (BFE) is a service that manages firewall and Internet Protocol security (IPsec) policies and implements user mode filtering. Stopping or disabling the BFE service will significantly reduce the security of the system. It will also result in unpredictable behavior in IPsec management and firewall applications.

    You would want to keep it enabled, running, and set to Automatic.
