[QUOTE="illumination, post: 502887"] Sorry I just seen this. For future reference, when you uninstall a third party app like private firewall, and windows firewall will not start, it is more then likely a left over registry entry from the 3rd party application causing it that needs deleted. Opening Regedit then click "edit" and "Find" place the name of the product, then click enter. Once the first one shows up you can toggle to the next one it finds and so forth by tapping F3. With windows 10, what [USER=13550]@frogboy[/USER] posted should have corrected any corrupted files. You would first want to run: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth The run a : sfc /scannow Afterwards restarting the system. [/QUOTE]
