Hi everyone. This video will guide you on disabling and enabling the firewall on Windows 11
Windows 11 includes a built-in firewall that Windows Defender manages. This firewall protects your computer from malware attacks and all sorts of malicious applications
when you connect to the internet. It uses predefined rules to protect your computer
from harmful applications. Some third-party antivirus also comes with its own firewall
When you install it, the Windows Firewall automatically gets disabled. If you stop the
antivirus or uninstall it from your PC, the firewall will activate and start protecting
your computer. That's the beauty of Windows Firewall. However, if you cannot open the internet
or there is any problem on your PC, and you suspect that the firewall may be the leading cause
you may disable it. When needed, again, you can enable it. How to permanently disable Windows 11 Firewall? If you have purchased a third-party firewall or
