Method 3: Stop the service in the system configuration

Also, turn off the Windows Firewall Service is the ability to configure the system.

1. In the system configuration settings window, you can get from the "Administration" section of the control panel. How to go to the administration section itself described in detail in the method 2. After switching, click "System Configuration".

   

   It is also possible to get to the configuration window by applying the "Run" tool. Activate it by pressing Win + R. In the field, enter:

   msconfig

   Click OK.



2. Reaching the system configuration window, go to "Services".



3. In the list that opens, find the "Windows Firewall" position. If this service is included, then it should be a check mark. Accordingly, if you wish to turn it off, then you need to remove the checkbox. Perform the specified procedure, and then click "OK".



4. After that, the dialog box will open, which will be offered to restart the system. The fact is that disabling the system element through the configuration window is not instantly, as when performing a similar task through a dispatcher, but only after rebooting the system. Therefore, if you want to disable the firewall immediately, click on the "Restart" button. If the shutdown can be postponed, then choose "Exit without reboot". In the first case, do not forget to first exit all running programs and save unsaved documents before pressing the button. In the second case, the firewall will be disabled only after the next computer is turned on.

There are three options to disable Windows Firewall. The first one implies a disconnection of the defender through its internal settings in the control panel. The second option provides for a complete shutdown of the service. In addition, there is a third option that also disables the service, but does it not through the dispatcher, but by means of changes in the system configuration window. Of course, if there is no particular need to apply another method, it is better to use a more traditional first way to shut down. But, at the same time, the deactivation of the service is considered a more reliable option. The main thing is if you want to turn it off completely, do not forget to remove the ability to automatically start after rebooting.
