Don't want to use Windows Firewall? To deactivate it you just have to follow these simple steps

The current popularization of the use of computer systems is a great advantage that we have, but that does not mean that all are advantages: many malicious users use such a situation to do harm. And to protect ourselves we have more and more options, one of them being the Windows Firewall, that silent companion that has been with us for so long.

We can thus count on the help of Windows Firewall and its alternatives in the form of third-party applications, but what if we have enough of these and we don't want to have the application from Microsoft? Both for security reasons and for specific connection problems that it can cause us, one option may be to disable the Windows Firewall, something you can do by following these steps.

A simple process

"

And it is very easy. The first thing to do is go to the Notifications Area and look for the shield-shaped icon that allows us to access the Control Center Windows Defender Security."

"

We want to disable the firewall (Windows Firewall) so we skip the rest of the options related to other Windows 10 security settings Click on Activate Windows Defender Antivirus."

"

We will see then that the Windows Firewall offers three deactivation options We can deactivate it (or activate it if necessary) for domain networks, private networks and public networks.The former refer to work networks, while the latter usually refers to home networks."

We must identify what type of network we are connected to and for this we see the one that is active and that is the one we proceed to remove of Windows Firewall protection. If we want to eliminate it all, we have no choice but to do it one by one.

Once inside we see that there is a switch, which we must press to proceed and thus deactivate the Windows FirewallAt that moment we go back and see how the system now notifies us that we have deactivated the protection and that it is convenient to activate it.

We have carried out this step in the private network, which is the home network, and if we want to deactivate the other two we must carry out the same steps as those we have taken in This time.

You have to keep in mind that deactivating the Windows Firewall means leaving your computer a little more exposed, especially in networks public, those that we can find in public places such as bars, libraries…

"

After Windows Firewall is removed on all three types of networks, the Windows Defender icon in the Windows Notification Area changesto a prompt urging you to turn it back on.For that, you only have to click on Restore configuration so that the Windows Firewall is activated again in the network to which we are connected."
