General Computer Support / Cannot Update Firewall Settings or Start Win 10 Firewall

« on: September 04, 2017, 10:08:49 am »

I am a new purchaser of Tweaking.com app. My windows firewall (Win 10) suddenly stopped running. The message is Windows Firewall is not using the recommended settings" with a button to "Use recommended settings." When I click the button, nothing happens. When I try to start Windows firewall, I come to this dialog box again. I ran the firewall repair in your tool, it did not fix the problem. I followed the problems in this thread: topic,1857.0.html but did not seem to have the same problems.

The error from Windows - System logs is: The Windows Firewall service terminated with the following service-specific error:
The data is invalid.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Here is the XML of the error, which is remarkably unhelpful:
