Windows 10: Windows firewall & Spartan/Edge

OK, maybe I am missing something......but why if I stop Windows firewall, does it stop Spartan/Edge from being started!?.
If Spartan is running and then I stop Windows firewall, Spartan continues to function - until I close it and then try to restart.

I only ask as I use a 3rd party firewall and if and when I change to Windows 10 I would therefore disable Windows firewall.*Confused

(build 10130)

:)

 

windows 10

I have one more question is the new browser in windows 10 Spartan or edge ..one microsoft agent said Spartan and the other said edge so im confused

 

will internet explorer work on windos 10

Hi

Windows 10 for PCs will have both the new Microsoft Edge browser as well as IE11 Desktop.

For more info., please see:

Microsoft Edge FAQs

 

That doesn't happen for me. I have my firewall turned off all the time (because I have a hardware firewall). I've never had a problem with Spartan, including on 10130.

 

build 10130 - turned my FW off and Edge still loaded.

 

scratching my head getting splinters! Did a reformat of hard drive - installed from iso - chose default install options except did not sign in with Microsoft account and still it does it! (shit, where is the gin bottle!)*Confused

 

Does it give any errors about not starting or does it just do nothing when you try to run it?

 

nope, no errors! - with FW stopped clicking on Spartan tab splash screen displays then vanishes. Start FW and Spartan opens quite happily...stop FW while Spartan running and all is well, but close Spartan and try to restart and puff splash screen is gone!.... surely this can't be a corrupted iso??????

 

Thanks, thats what I thought it was based on what you said

If you check in Reliability Monitor (search reliability in control panel) does it have any messages similar to 'Spartan has stopped responding and has closed'

**I am back on 8.1 but I think the above still applies to win 10

 

Yep got message "Project Spartan - Stopped Working" and details:-

Not got a clue what it all means though.......

 

Only other idea I have, turn off your firewall
then re register the apps
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3...ws-8-10-a.html

see if this fixes what is broken

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now Spartan will not start with or without FW!!!! but I do get an error message:-

Explorer.exe

invalid value for registry

time for a rebuild - again!

 

*Sad That's not good

Is the 3rd party firewall win 10 compatible, wonder if its changed windows system files it shouldn't have

 

Have not installed 3rd party firewall - developers won't have windows compatible version till AFTER 10 is released like so many other 3rd party firms, until they get their hands on the Released version, they can't develop there software. Talk about putting the cart before the horse!!
