Turn Off Firewall Security

Method 1:

Press the button featuring the Windows logo, also known as the Windows Start menu, located by default in the lower-left corner of the screen, or press ⊞ Win to display the Start menu.

To access the Windows Settings menu, click on the icon that looks like a small gear located in the panel to the left of the Windows Start menu.

Step 3

Select the option labeled Update & Security from the Windows Settings menu. You'll recognize it by an icon that looks like two arrowheads forming a circle.

Go to the left panel and locate the icon that looks like a shield. Click on that, which will open Windows Security.

Press the Open Windows Security button situated at the top of the Windows Security page.

To access Firewall & network protection, click the icon resembling a radio tower that can be found either in the panel on the left or the large icon in the middle of the page.

Select a connection. Generally you can locate your Wi-Fi or online link beneath the Public Network option. The Private Network choice is useful to regulate access to your regional area network and other associated gadgets with your device. The Domain Network selection is great when you have a number of computers connected to the same system in the same workspace.

Once disabled, your network could become more exposed to malicious activity, such as malicious attacks and unauthorized access.
