Good evening folks, I am running Windows 10 Pro Build 1803 along with Bitdefender 2019 Total Security. I have been running Bitdefender Total Security since Agnitum went out of business a while back. Anyway, I was looking through my settings in the Windows Defender Security Center. Under "Firewall and network protection" there are three items; Domain Network, Private Network, and Public Network. All three say, "no actions needed". When I click on one of these, the Domain Network for example, I can see that Bitdefender Firewall is installed as a firewall provider. But just below that is a switch for "Windows Defender Firewall" and it is set in the "On" position. Should this be the case? Just a note, for the AV, Windows Defender is disabled, presumably during the Bitdefender installation. So, I see no problems there. I am just baffled as to whether I should manually set the Windows Defender Firewall switch to off or not. I have used search engines, the Bitdefender support site, and any other site I could find regarding the subject. But, I came up short on an answer to my specific question. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. David
It's not just with BD. The Windows Security Center is misleading. Check security status in the old-fashioned Control Panel, and I am willing to bet it will tell you that Windows Firewall is off.
Wow. You're right. I went through the Control Panel and Windows Firewall is off. Thanks, I appreciate the help.
