[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1038798, member: 61091"] A deeper setting question: my windows firewall [U]service[/U] is STOPPED. I assume it had been RUNNING since I got a windows popup warning last week about enabling the service. I've tried several fixes to start the WF service and they've all failed. Meanwhile, for firewall protection, I have since installed CF 12.2.2.8012 with [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] settings. I have used cruelcomodo successfully in the past. Does CF stop the WF [U]service[/U]? (mine was stopped before I installed CF). This is a not a question about whether the WF should be on or off, but should the WF [U]Service[/U] be stopped when running CF? Is win10 fully protected with WF [U]Service[/U] stopped? If it's normal or acceptable for the WF [U]Service[/U] to be stopped when running CF, than I can stop being concerned that my WF [U]Service[/U] cannot be started, even when no other firewall or av with firewall is installed. If you are running CF, please advise. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
