Corso 1 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Just did a clean reinstall of windows 10 pro x64 and now security center says both windows firewall and esets firewall are both running at the same time. It also say it can cause conflict running them at the same time. This have happened before as well. What's happening, why does this occur and how to fix this? Haven't changed anything in the registry since this is a Clean install. Eset Smart Security v.9.0.375 Windows 10 511.164 Pro x64 all updates to date.

itman 1,659 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Did you reboot after installing Eset? If not, do that and see if it resolves the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,659 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) You can turn the Win 10 firewall manually by doing this: hxxp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-windows-firewall-on-off#turn-windows-firewall-on-off=windows-7 . Hopefully after a reboot, the Win 10 firewall will show this: This is how the Win 10 firewall should work with the Eset firewall enabled. The Win 10 firewall is not completely disabled since Eset uses components of it; primarily the Windows Filtering Platform component.

Corso 1 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 We're not suppose to turn off windows firewall then apps won't update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We're not suppose to turn off windows firewall then apps won't update. ??? The Win firewall plus Eset firewall with default settings do not block outbound connections. Therefore, neither will have any impact on your applications being able to update. The problem with running two firewalls is a possible conflict with inbound connections. Only one firewall that monitors network connections should be active at any time.

You said turn off the windows firewall. Then apps won't update so that's not a solution. That's the whole problem with running both firewalls at the same time. Windows firewall do say that the settings are handled by ESET. So maybe security center theres something wrong with. Well i'll try to reinstall ESS once again.

User 13 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just did a clean reinstall of windows 10 pro x64 and now security center says both windows firewall and esets firewall are both running at the same time. It's a general problem of version 9 that some users have and it still has not been fixed by ESET, see this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is a problem with the Win 10 security center on this regard. Since Eset in handling the Win 10 firewall settings, that is all that matters. You could just ignore the Security Center warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corso 1 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I Checked the Windows Firewall Settings and mine doesn't say that eset firewall is handling it anymore, like it just to. It just says it's on. ESS 9.0.375 GUI says you are protected and looks as usual. ESS 9.0.375 Win 10 586.164 Pro x64 (Official, non-insider) Clean install.
