General Computer Support / unable to start the windows firewall service
« on: March 19, 2014, 04:03:31 pm »
Windows Repair v.2.5.1 requested feedback if it failed. Hopefully this is the right forum.
I'm trying to fix the windows firewall service in win 7 ultimate. I first ensured that all of the dependent services were running. When I try to start it, I get "...could not start...If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the system vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5."
A web search lead me to this Windows Repair tool. I selected only the "repair WMI" and "repair windows firewall" repair options since everything else works fine (except for the SQL Server 2012 installation). But I continue to receive the same error.
TIA!
