General Computer Support / Re: Trouble with Windows Firewall after installing Windows 8.1 Pro

AVG has already off the system and the firewall still remained the same. I did try to fix the firewall through registry editor but nothing can solve this. i was thinking of sending it to the shop for repair but i can't imagine what would they do with my newly upgraded windows and how much they will charge for it.

gotta give up. i've tried everything. instead, the firewall wouldn't show up on the screen and it stuck on the control panel page until i opened task manager and restarted the page again and again. i can't turn on the firewall unless it shows up with the option. T.T

i wasn't able to delete the avg completely even using the avg remover. the remaining left me a message saying that the program still running so it can't be uninstalled. i can finally turn on WD and ran a quick scan but unfortunately, the firewall stays the same.

It's possible that AVG could have disrupted it, but glad it sorted itself out.

my firewall's acting up again. it turning on and off. windows defender also doing the same. i think it must have something to do with AVG. should i uninstall it? what if i can't uninstall the AVG? any other option?

I almost gave up when the firewall's status changed. it turned on by itself without me doing anything, just like how my windows 8 updated itself few days ago. i don't know what happened because those updates needed my permission to continue. well, thx Boggin for the helpful answer. i wish i could try it. my windows defender wouldn't open until the firewall was fixed. i've stopped my AVG a few times when i tried to turn on the firewall. i guess it's a miracle to have it fixed itself without me banging my head against it.

Hi, guys.
I'm having problem with my firewall right after i finished installing windows 8.1 Pro. I couldn't turn on the firewall according to the instruction given on the websites I've visited. After a few tries solving the problem, I even tried the Windows Repair, but the problem persists. I can't even connect to my Wi-Fi because of the firewall. Please help me!
