Firewall keeps turning off

Hello to the very smart and talented programmers and microsoft engineers,
Power user here with Windows 10 TP x64 on my Asus x401a laptop. Everything is working pretty well, just noticing that my firewall keps going offline quite often resulting on the action center alerting me to turn it on.
It appears the firewall stays on for public connections but is off for private connections. I am currently connected to my home router which is set as a private network. The firewall also turned off during times where I was connected to a public
network. When this happened, I did not receive an action center alert because the current firewall settings (public on, private off) did not affect the current network (which was public)
Just thought I'd put that out there. I can always run a script that can check the status and turn it on if it is off so no biggy, but what can I do to log the 'private firewall turn off' event? I don't know what event ID to look for.
Thanks and so far Win 9 ;) I mean, 10 TP is lovely! I LOVE the new hybrid start menu/taskbar and 4 window snap. 4 win snap is kind of a let down on screens with resolutions lower than 1080p, the preview pane becomes a bit of a visual real estate hog
but that's an easy fix. Otherwise, bravo.
Where may I find a list of enhancements to 10 TP over 8?? thanks again!

Gigaleonza,
I agree with what
Ed (DareDevil57) said above. In addition though to anti-virus software causing the issue, this could also be caused by any security suite of software that you may find with products such as AVG, Symantec or Kaspersky that have their own firewall programs.
It could be that one of these is trying to compete with the Windows firewall. Try disabling any such software and see if that makes any difference.
Hope this helps!

Why does my Windows Firewall keep turning off briefly?

I have just run a recovery on my dad's Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n Desktop, which restored XP Media Edition 2005 SP2. I then installed SP3 and used Windows Update to get more recent updates. The system is now working fine, but every so often I get a popup notification that says the Windows Firewall is off. The popup balloon quickly, and when I go into the Security Center the Windows Firewall shows up as on. I ran a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and I also tried Trend Micro's HouseCall and RootkitBuster. None of the scans showed any threats, but I'm still uncomfortable with the myesterious balloon popping up several times a day. Does anyone have any insight?
This question was solved.

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum!
1. When you go to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall
do you see the firewall in ON condition (despite the security center warnings) ?
2. Click on Start -> Run -> type services.msc and hit OK. In the list that will open, navigate to Windows Firewall and see if the service is set to Automatic and if it is started
3. Let's flush the Security Center's memory :-)
Click on Start -> Run -> type services.msc and hit OK.
In the list that will open, navigate to Windows Management Instrumentation, right-click on it, and choose Stop.
Open My Computer/Windows Explorer and goto c:\Windows\system32\WBEM
There you will see a folder called Repository.
Right click it and rename it to rep_old
Again, go to services.msc and now start the Windows Management Instrument service.
After that, please, restart your computer.
Note, that after the restart the computer will rebuild the Repository folder and the first start after that might be slower than usual. Additionally, some services might be delayed.
Additional precautions I would take:
- Please, scan your computer for the presence of malware using HitmanPro (free):

Download -> http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/ (32-bit version is yours)
Windows XP is getting out of support very soon - in less than 3 months Microsoft will stop supporting it anymore. It goes into history. It is highly recommended that you upgrade to newer operating system in order to use the latest technology, enjoy better security, faster and better programs, support, etc.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help
If you plan on continue using Windows XP for longer (after Microsoft stops supporting it), I would choose another antivirus and firewall solution for the computer such as third party firewall like ZoneAlarm , and/or third party antivirus software like Norton Antivirus, McAfee Internet security, Kaspersky, ESET, etc. or all-in-one suit.

I can not sign into FaceTime and my firewall is turned off, help. I'm a Clear internet user, if that matters or helps.

I'm having trouble signing into facetime. Keeps saying to check my network, but the internet is fine and my firewall is turned off. I'm a Clear internet user and I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working.

IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
Help?

Hey,
Thanks but all ready tried that.
I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

Why does my ipod nano keep turning off

Hello

What do you mean it keeps turning off?
Perhaps it's an issue with the headphones. Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug. You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones. If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.

If it still occurs that indicates a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My 7th generation iPod nano keep turning off by itself

My 7th generation iPod keeps turning off by itself. I've checked on the internet that i have to make sure the headphone is plugged perfectly and it's totally plugged but my iPod keeps turning off every second. I also have restored it, when it was restoring it didnt turn off, but when it finished, it started to keep turning off again. May anyone help me to resolve my problem?

If you still not reached 1 year, run to apple store and change it. I have same problem, but during running and stop not often like yours but only one time.

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo. I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in. It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off? Any other suggestions?

I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

Proxy keeps turning off

Have you found any solition to this? Very frustrating, same thing with my iPhone 5. iPad happily keeps it on auto, but iPhone won't stick.

My ipad 2 keeps turning off and on

So my little brother is playing with my ipad 2 and he keeps playing until the battery is drain to 5%, when I try to charge it, it turns off(or shut down), normally I think it is common 'cause of the drained battery, but when I charge it, the big battery logo with red lines(indicating that there's only few battery power left) showed up( I think it's charging) and without turning it back on, the apple logo showed up, and I think it turn on automatically, but when the moment it turn on, it keeps turning off again...This problem keeps repeating from the big battery logo and turning off again.
I dont know how this is happening, This is the first time this happened.
The only reason I'm thinking is, "does my ipad battery or my charger is slow in charging and when it charged a few percent of battery and turn on again it drains the charged battery again?" Any help is appreciated, And sorry for my bad english( english is not my mother language). Thanks in advance..

Hi GreeD28,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You explained the situation very well, and it sounds like you are seeing this image flash on the screen when charging your iPad:
If so, you may just need to let your iPad charge for longer before using it, as explained in this article:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
This image means that your device is charging.
It's important to note that if the battery is extremely low on power, your device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of these images appears. Continue charging for at least 30 minutes, or until your device is fully charged.
If you have charged your iPad and it still shows the screen above or turns off after the Apple logo appears, try these troubleshooting steps next:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Since updating to ios6 my 4s keeps turning off.

Since updating to ios6 my 4s keeps turning off, has 5% last time had 18% battery and says connect to power, comes straight on with 18% still!

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
