To access the Windows Firewall settings in the Control Panel, you will need to open the Control Panel window. From the Start menu, click the Control Panel option.
Once the Control Panel is open, you have a few options for how to get to the Windows Firewall settings.
First, you can find the Windows Firewall icon right away in the Control Panel window. It is normally located in the Security or System and Security categories. When you locate it, double-click it. This will open up the Windows Firewall application window.
Your second option is to search for the Windows Firewall setting. On the Control Panel window, you’ll see a field at the top right corner that says “Search Control Panel”. Type ‘firewall’ into this field and then click the Windows Firewall link that appears as a result. This will also open up the Windows Firewall application window.
From the Windows Firewall window, you can configure various settings related to how the firewall works. For example, you can turn the firewall on or off, add exceptions, or configure the settings for each network profile (i.e. private, public, or domain).
Once you’ve made any changes you’d like, you can click the OK button to save them. Your Windows Firewall settings are now configured as you like.
