Here is the first method.

Right-click on the Start menu and select Command Prompt (Administrator) from the list.

Enter a command to disable the firewall.

There is OK message. It means that Windows 10 firewall has been disabled.  In this case, all firewall profiles are disabled.

To enable it, use the same command, but in the end it should have “on” instead of “off.” Windows 10 firewall has been enabled again. 

Note. You can hit the pause button to see the text of these commands or have a look in the description of this video - they will be there too.

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off - disable

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off - enable

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off - отключить

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on - включить

Here’s the second method.

Open the search field, enter “Windows firewall” and start it.

Select “Turn Windows Firewall on or off.”

Note. You must be an administrator of this computer.

Check the box “Turn off” for both public and private networks and click OK.

Now, if you don’t need to disable the firewall completely but only to add a program onto its allowed apps list, there are two ways to do it. 

Let’s study them.

Here is the first method.

Go to the tab “Allow an app or feature through WIndows Firewall.”

If the button “Change settings” is active, click on it (you still must be an administrator to do it) and then click “Allow another app.”

Specify the path to such app. Add network types if necessary. Then apply the settings. 

Ready. The app is on the list now.


Here’s the second method. 

Go to the tab “Advanced Settings.”

Select “Inbound Rules.” 

Create a rule for a program to allow its access to inbound connections. After that, do the same for “Outbound connnections.”  

We can also create a rule for separate ports.  

Allow access to separate ports for certain programs, games etc.
