    Fall Creators Update Resulting in High CPU Use By Service Host

    Ignore the instructions to enable firewall protection [BOTH Norton's AND Defender's] until AFTER the driver dowlnoad - then after the download - re-enable it. Your firewall protection will only be down for the few moments it takes to download the driver,
    and if you are downloading directly from the driver company's site you should be just fine for the few moments it is disabled.

    Windows Firewall keeps switching off after re-setting to on ?

    Finally solved it....

    Control Panel > System & Security > Security & Maintenance > Security > View installed Firewall apps.

    "Note that running more than one firewall at a time can cause conflicts".

    As I have Zone Alarm Extreme Security this must be why it keeps switching Windows Firewall off as all ZA programmes are marked on.... phew !!

    Hope this helps*Smile
