Some programs I had blocked in windows firewall from talking to the internet on any port were beginning to send and receive data. This is not desired, so I looked at the firewall, voila, it was unable to start and the BFE and WF weren't running.
Restart the Base Filtering Engine and Windows Firewall scripts
BFE http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/wi ... /7/BFE.reg
Windows Firewall http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/wi ... MpsSvc.reg
Launch them,You should get a UAC prompt now
Click YES & Restart your PC
Once restarted, Press Windows+ R key and type
regedit and click ok
go to
Click on ADD and type Everyone and click ok
Now Click on Everyone Below you have permission for users
Select full control and click ok
Now,open RUN and type services.msc and click ok
start the base filtering engine service
start the windows firewall service
If you still have this error
Windows could not start Windows Firewall on local Computer. See event log, if non-windows services contact vendor. Error code 5.
Download and launch this key,click YES | Shared access | http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/wi ... Access.reg
give full control permission to this key similar to previous one
Click on Add and type Everyone and select Full control
You should able to start firewall now
