Best Ways To Disable Firewall On Windows?
To disable the firewall in Windows 10, follow these steps:
- Open the Start menu and search for "Windows Security".
- Click on "Windows Security" to open the application.
- Select "Firewall & network protection" from the sidebar or the main menu.
- Choose the network profile you want to disable the firewall for (Domain network, Private network, or Public network).
- Under "Microsoft Defender Firewall," switch the toggle to the "Off" position.
Alternatively, you can use the Control Panel:
- Open the Start menu and search for "Control Panel".
- Click on "Control Panel" to open it.
- Navigate to "System and Security" > "Windows Defender Firewall".
- Click on "Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off".
- In the Private network settings section, check the box for "Turn off Windows Defender Firewall". If you want to disable it for the Public network, check the box in the Public network settings section.
- Click "OK" to apply the changes.
Please note that disabling the firewall makes your system more vulnerable to external attacks. It's recommended to use the firewall and selectively allow specific apps through the firewall if necessary, rather than disabling it entirely.
