Where are you trying to disable Firewall from? In Defender or Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall?

Any other security products installed on this PC?

Hi,

According to your message, it probably caused by domain group policy security settings.

Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

Let's collect the gprepot to confirm it:

1. Open Command Prompt(Admin).

2. Type the following command

gpresult /h c:\gpreport.html

3. Go to C drive, open the gpreport.html to view. If you don't know how to read this report, just upload it to OneDrive and share the link here.

Please Note: Wipe any privacy information before uploading any log file to public site.

In addition, check if service for Windows Firewall Service running fine.

Best Regards,

Tao

that gpresult report helped me hunt down the GPO that was turning on that Firewall Policy. I am going to incorporate it into my scripts. Thanks so much.
