videobruce Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Windows Firewall was never installed (by design since I have NEVER used it inn20 or so years and had it disabled) and I need to install it w/o re-installing the O/S. Everything I have read about re-installing doesn't work since I believe those procedures go under the assumption it was originally there in the 1st place; https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-reinstall-windows-firewall-service/d5bf7d36-cca6-4767-9e67-0e2a1bb28042 https://superuser.com/questions/385662/how-to-restore-windows-firewall-after-some-malware-deleted-its-service Is the "service' available as a download, or does someone have a working solution? (Please no comments on removing the service in the 1st place. Had I know that prevents file/folder sharing I wouldn't of). Quote Step 1: Recreate the service Rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf Step 2: Start the service sc start mpssvc Step 3: Reset the firewall configurations netsh advfirewall reset netsh advfirewall set domainprofile state on netsh advfirewall set privateprofile state on Step 4: Reboot Reboot Windows.
