  3. windows 10 firewall keeps turning itself ON how to stop it

    Hello,

    From your issue description, I understand that you have an issue with “Windows Firewall”, as it turns off, and then turn on
    by itself.

    Please be informed that Installation of more than one security programs leads to conflict. Install any one antivirus program and update it with latest definition updates.

    Method 1:

    Perform Virus Scan in Safe Mode with Networking:

    Note: Some of viruses are unable to detect in Normal mode. So I suggest you to perform “Virus can in Safe mode with Networking” and then check.

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in “Safe mode with networking mode”, to start the computer with minimal set of drivers and files and also includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on
    your network. You may follow the article below and check if it helps:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: Perform Virus Scan:

    Disclaimer for Virus scan: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

    • The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.
    Microsoft Safety Scanner Download - Windows security

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    2. Restart the computer to see whether the problem goes away.

    Method 2: Disable or uninstall Third party Windows Firewall program and then check.

    Disclaimer to disable Firewall: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall might make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable
    to damage from worms or hackers.

    Note: Once you performed the steps, make sure you ‘Turn on the Firewall’ and
    re-enable the antivirus to avoid the risk of virus infection.

    If the issue persists, post your reply with results and the questions asked as above. We are happy to assist you further with advanced troubleshooting steps!

    Hope it helps.

    Windows 10 security asking me to turn on virus and firewall

    Windows Firewall security alert keeps popping up.

    Hello,

    Windows Firewall plays an important part in helping to protect your computer against virus and security threats. Your concern is cause by a conflicting changes in your security settings. However we suggest that you turn off Security messages for Network
    firewall temporarily to check if the issue persists. Follow these steps:

    • Click Start menu.
    • Type Control Panel.
    • Choose System and Security > Security and Maintenance.
    • On the left side, click Change Security and Maintenance settings.
    • Uncheck the box on the left side of Network firewall.
    • Restart your computer.

    After an hour, enable Network firewall again. We also recommend that you use another browser and check if the issue persists.

    Note: If you disable Windows Firewall for a long period of time, your computer will be more vulnerable to unauthorized access to your network.

    Thanks.
