Firewalls are important for protecting your computer from unauthorized access. However, it’s easy to inadvertently disable firewall protection or to forget to reconfigure it when you make changes to your computer.

To check your firewall settings, open the Control Panel and click on “Windows Firewall.” In the “Windows Firewall” window, under “Policies” click on “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.” In the “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security” window, under “Inbound Rules” click on “Enabled Rules.” In the “Enabled Rules” window, under “Category” click on “Protected Computer.

” If the rule is enabled, it will be checked. If the rule is not enabled, it will be unchecked.
