(On Windows 10)
I can't seem to be able to turn on windows firewall... From action center turning it on fails and it sends me to turn it on manually, but when I try and do that, nothing happens. It seems to load for a while, but nothing happens.
Windows Firewall Authorization Driver is where it should be in it's file location, but when I looked in device manager I couldn't find it (showing hidden).
The windows firewall service is on automatic, but won't turn on. (When I try turning it on it exits with permission denied error)
base Filtering Service is on automatic and is running.
WMI repository is consistent.
I had a trojan in my temp files earlier, but other than that no viruses.
I ran: Malwarebytes, superAntiSpyware and Spybot
The problem first appeared today (I don't think it was present yesterday). I don't think anything else has changed except, I re-installed Spotify. It was unable to initialize the storage of temporary files. (I have an old version of spotify that has been tricked to not update).
Help? :C
UPDATE:
I just ran sfc and it found some problems and apparently couldn't fix them all.
This might be because I used a program to delete parts of windows that i don't want. (mainly Microsoft's spying stuff and store apps)
I just don't know if the problems it found were actual problems or just "Windows 10 seems to be missing essential botnet services"
This install is less than 2 weeks old, so I doubt there is that much corruption or something like that.
Either way I can't really tell if there is a problem and unfortunately I don't have system restore points... (I really need to start using those...)
I'll wait a few days and see if someone has ideas, but if not I guess I'll do a clean install again...
