I have windows 10 Home with all current updates. Just in the last 3 weeks my firewall has become uncontrollable. ANY, meaning any, app or game gets a warning box thrown up immediatley and for some of my games, this kicks me from the server. When I add apps to exception list and hit OK, they are removed immediately. When I try to turn off the firewall both in the regular settings and in the advanced settings it immediately turns itself back on. It has made my gaming experience a nightmare. I do not need it really because I have AVAST firewall (currently off). When I turn AVAST firewall on and add exceptions it performs correctly. I am capable of registry edits and other intermediate fixes. Help please, so I can go back to controlling my computer and not the other way around. THIS SUCKKKKKS!
(Thank you for reading)

This is what worked for me;

"You can disable the Windows Firewall from the Services window. To do so:

> In the Cortana search bar, type SERVICES.MSC.

> Click the Services option that appears in the suggestion list.

> From the opened Services window, from the right pane, double-click the Windows Firewall service.

> On the Windows Firewall Properties box, ensure that you are on the General tab.

> Click the Stop button from under the Service status label and click Apply. (Accept any prompt or confirmation that/if appears to stop any dependencies.)

> After this, choose Disabled from the Startup type drop-down list and click Apply again.

> Click OK and close all the opened boxes.

> Restart the computer and see if this keeps Windows...
