    Hello Sena66,

    Thank you for that information. I'm sorry it didn't resolve the issue. Do you see any errors?

    Restart Windows Firewall Service

    Press WIN+R then type services.msc

    Find Windows Defender Firewall

    Double click then click Stop then Start again.

    Set the Startup type to Automatic

    If still doesn't work, Please try to perform a System Restore on an earlier date which everything was working properly.

    Press Start.

    Search for Create a restore point, and click the top result to open the System Properties experience.

    Click the System Restore button.

    Click the Next button.

    Select the restore point that you want to use on your computer. You can check the box "Show more restore points"

    Click Next then Finish

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further concerns.

    Sincerely

    John DeV

    Hello Sena66,

    I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I want to apologize if you encountered this issue. I understand you have a problem with firewall settings. When was the last time the firewall settings was set to recommended? Did you made any changes recently? What is your current windows version and edition? Press WIN+I, select System then About.

    Please try to check and perform the instructions inside this article.

    windows 10 

    windows defender firewall is not using recommended settings - unable to activate this - can only open as administrator
