[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1038824, member: 67091"] Did you try a System Restore point? If you have one, before Windows Firewall stopped, then it'll be worth trying it. Or if you have an Image, also it might work. Did you google "windows firewall 0x6d9 error"? You'll see lot of possible solutions: It seems that sometimes the 0x6d9 error appears because other services (needed for Windows Firewall) are stopped (for example "Base Filtering Engine" etc). Please, restore Windows services default status. In other cases, it seems that resetting permissions for Microsoft Protection might solve the issue: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ SharedAccess \ Epoch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ SharedAccess \ Defaults \ FirewallPolicy HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ SharedAccess \ Parameters \ FirewallPolicy At every key, right-click (Default), choose Modify and input the value data: NT SERVICE \ mpssvc. In other cases, it seems that resetting Windows Firewall default settings might fix the 0x6d9 error: netsh advfirewall reset net start mpsdrv net start mpssvc net start bfe regsvr32 firewallapi.dll Please, google the subject (0x6d9 error), and you'll find more possible solutions. If nothing works for you, then you might try "Windows Refresh" (it'll reinstall your Windows, your apps are going to be removed, but your personal stuff will be kept). Another solution is to make an Image of your current Windows 10, upgrade to Windows 11, almost sure this will solve your Windows Firewall problem... and then downgrade to Windows 10.
