On a computer with Windows 7 I started the built-in Firewall dialog.
Much to my surprise the Firewall does NOT show the full, usual firewall setup dialog but only a part of it.
It looks like as the left dialog in the attached snapshot.
If I click on the button "Use recommended settings" nothing happens.
Reboot doesn't help.
I guess Firewall Service was getting corrupt.
Almost everything works (Internet browsing, access TO other computer in LAN) except access FROM other computers in LAN.
When I enter at CommandPrompt:
D:\work>Netsh Advfirewall show allprofiles
An error occurred while attempting to contact the Windows Firewall service. Make sure that the service is running and try your request again.
How can I repair Firewall setup?
