An important component of computer security is the firewall.
What are the functions of the Windows 10 Firewall?
The firewall allows to control the information that enters and leaves your computer when it is connected to a network. Windows 10 actively incorporates it through Windows Defender and has the function of preventing unauthorized programs from accessing the Internet connection to send user information. At the same time it can block attempts to access the PC of other Internet users.
However, there are times when the firewall can block a program we trust, forcing us to deactivate it or change the way it affects the program in question. Here we show you how to do it.
How to turn off the Windows 10 Firewall
Click on the Windows Start button. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Firewall & Network Protection.
Choose a network profile. In Microsoft Defender Firewall, switch from on to off.
