How could I have this firewall?
Everyone does (Windows users, in case). ;D
Isn’t this just the windows 10 firewall.
Microsoft has started calling things ‘Defender’ something. What was the Windows Security/Action Center is not the Windows Defender Center, etc.
You should find it in the Control Panel > System Security.
@DavidR,
That’s where I found it. It didn’t show up until day.
DavidR, very interesting.
So… is this just the old “Windows Firewall” with a new name? Nothing changed?
I don’t like it because it blocked access for my browsers. I had to click on allow.
As far as I’m aware that is all it is, just MS rebranding everything with Defender in the name.
When I first used my new win10 laptop a little over a year ago, it was just plain old Windows Firewall.
These changes may have come in the Creators/Fall Creators Update as I haven’t used any other firewall on this win10 laptop.
So far it hasn’t blocked anything on my system.
