Windows Firewall Won't Start; Missing Service


Recommended Posts

So a day ago I discovered that Windows Firewall was completely missing from my computer when trying to install Tinywall, for reasons completely unknown to me. I remember Firewall prompting me with new programs less than a few weeks ago. Nothing really occurred to me since it's rare unless I install a new game.

I get this when I try to enable it through control panel by hitting "Use Recommended Settings".

I've googled around and everyone seems to suggest that I have a virus. I am 100% certain that I do not have a virus. I am very mature in the way I use the internet, and all my software is constantly up to date. Java is version 7, Firefox is 9.0.1, etc. On top of it, I scanned with MSE (which I also have running real time protection), SuperAntiSpyware, and Malwarebytes. Each of them did a full scan and came up with nothing more than a few isolated false positive trojans in my downloads folder, which I went ahead and deleted anyway since I no longer needed them.

What I am thinking is that possibly TuneUp Utilities did this on accident, but trying to enable it through TuneUp yeilded similar results.

Moreover, the weirdest part is the WIndows Firewall service is completely missing from services.msc.

I would very much like to have a firewall, but I do not want to reinstall Windows for that, as it may cause complications with my boot loader and reinstalling everything would take months of redownloading installers and such.

Can anyone tell me how I would go about reinstalling this Windows feature?

I've seen that error several times recently on different machines. Usually after removing spyware/virus programs.

I think I diid the following in the command prompt one at a Time: (press enter to execute file) (Might have to run command prompt as admin(?))

regsvr32 wwapi.dll press 'enter' etc.

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng11.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

regsvr32 wuweb32.dll

Next time you might want to run "rkill'' to stop running processes before running malwarebytes.

I am not sure if you've tried this yet!

You can start the following services manually:

Windows Firewall (MpsSvc)

CNG Key Isolation (KeyIso)

Base Filtering Engine (BFE)

Firewall Client Agent (FwcAgent)

To do this, follow the steps below:

Click Start, type Notepad in the Start Search box (Windows Vista) or the Search programs and files box (Windows 7), and then click Notepad in the programs list.

Highlight the following text, right click the highlighted text, and then click Copy. Go to Notepad, right click anywhere in the Notepad window, and then click Paste.

sc config MpsSvc start= auto

sc config KeyIso start= auto

sc config BFE start= auto

sc config FwcAgent start= auto

net stop MpsSvc

net start MpsSvc

net stop KeyIso

net start KeyIso

net stop BFE

net start BFE

net stop FwcAgent

net start FwcAgent

Click File, click Save As, and then type Repair.bat in the File name box.

Click the Save as type dropdown, then click All Files (*.*).

In the left window pane, click Desktop, and then click Save.

On the File menu, click Exit.

From your Desktop, right click the Repair.bat file that you saved in step 5, and then click Run as administrator. This action starts the required services.

Note If you are prompted for confirmation, click Yes.

Try to start the Windows Firewall again. If you can start Windows Firewall, delete the Repair.bat file. To delete the Repair.bat file, right-click Repair.bat, click Delete, and then click Yes.

**** End of log ****

Will try second suggestion in a moment.

Did you go see if you could get the firewall going yet? I noticed also not all dll will re-register at times.

Your firewall is still in the machine it is just disabled.

I just repaired one for that problem yesterday.

I know that the 'regsvr32 wuaueng.dll' will cause the machine to get updates when the machine refuses.

Farstrider confirmed for being genius. It worked!

And of course, thank you wahoospa for contributing as well :)

But one last problem. FSS seems to think System Restore is still offline, and I cannot repeat the steps that you laid out like I did with Security Center, because it says the keys are in use. I even tried doing the sdrsvc.reg in safemode, and it returned that message.

System Restore:

============

SDRSVC Service is not running. Checking service configuration:

The start type of SDRSVC service is OK.

The ImagePath of SDRSVC service is OK.

The ServiceDll of SDRSVC service is OK.

Not that I've ever used System Restore, or feel like I will at any point. It would be nice to have, however.

Hello,

Typical behavior for a system infected with the ZeroAccess (a/k/a Win32/Sireref) rootkit. Since the rootkit takes control before the operating system loads it will deflect attempts to bypass/remove it.

Here are some write-ups discussing it: ESET, McAfee, Symantec and Webroot (Prevx).

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

I would run MBAM to make sure that everything is clean! Also do a check for any root-kits:

Also download GMER from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:

  • Main Mirror
    This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended)
  • Zipped Mirror
    This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.

  • Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
  • Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.
  • Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
  • Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
    gmer_zip.gif
  • GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
  • If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.
  • Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.
  • When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log.
  • Exit GMER and be sure to re-enable your anti-virus, Firewall and any other security programs you had disabled.

IMPORTANT! If for some reason GMER refuses to run, try again.

If it still fails, try to UN-check "Devices" in right pane.

If still no joy, try to run it from Safe Mode.

System restore is normally on by default is it not? I am not a windows user so I have to admit to not knowing this (Can't remember tbh!)

Navigate to the Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools program group.

Click on the System Restore program icon.

Click Next > on the Restore system files and settings window.

You will be able to see here if it's actually working or not don't run it obviously but you should be able to see if it's on or not! Also as far as I know that message that you got about VSS is normal!

System Restore:

=============

VSS Service is not running. Checking service configuration:

The start type of VSS service is OK.

The ImagePath of VSS service is OK.

Going to bed now, it's almost 4.30 am here, I will check later to see what your outcome is, cheers!

@goretsky: Thank you for the information. I checked for the files in your first link, and they were either missing, or not the same size. I do not wish to run the removal tool right now as I'm too lazy to restart my computer for a third time tonight.

@Farstrider

I did not complete the scan because I am running short on time, myself. My filesystem has lots of small files like game settings, Firefox cache files, and Windows Live Mail caches. It scanned what I think is about halfway, in half an hour. It scanned the registry as well. SPTD is a driver for Daemon Tools which I use to mount disk images.

And also, System Restore seems to be functioning. I do not care to roll back my system right now, so no concrete testing. But I opened the wizard and cycled through a couple of pages.

I also ran MBAM yesterday (as stated in OP).

Thank you for your help, even though you were a little too babying :) Have a good night.

Thank you so much! I wasn't having the same exact issue as the thread starter but with Action Center instead. I tweaked a couple of steps slightly but managed to fix everything with the stuff you provided. Thanks much!

Damn Avast just decides to start destroying system files and registry keys and crashed my system on the next restart. It was a fresh install of Avast and I literally just finished reinstalling windows 7 five minutes before Avast started attacking my system. Anti-virus programs are the true viruses. I did a system restore but it didn't repair all the files it deleted. This was just what I needed!

@Farstrider thanks a million you are a God send. Microsoft as usual were no help and even cut me off a chat window, great customer service. My problem and solution went exactly like Reacon, we must have had the same virus. I knew I picked one up but I didnt realise the damage it had done. Keep up the good work. If it wasnt for people like yourself helping others along, then a lot of us would be completely stuck. 5 stars!

I am not sure if you've tried this yet!

You can start the following services manually:

Windows Firewall (MpsSvc)

CNG Key Isolation (KeyIso)

Base Filtering Engine (BFE)

Firewall Client Agent (FwcAgent)

To do this, follow the steps below:

Click Start, type Notepad in the Start Search box (Windows Vista) or the Search programs and files box (Windows 7), and then click Notepad in the programs list.

Highlight the following text, right click the highlighted text, and then click Copy. Go to Notepad, right click anywhere in the Notepad window, and then click Paste.

Click File, click Save As, and then type Repair.bat in the File name box.

Click the Save as type dropdown, then click All Files (*.*).

In the left window pane, click Desktop, and then click Save.

On the File menu, click Exit.

From your Desktop, right click the Repair.bat file that you saved in step 5, and then click Run as administrator. This action starts the required services.

Note If you are prompted for confirmation, click Yes.

Try to start the Windows Firewall again. If you can start Windows Firewall, delete the Repair.bat file. To delete the Repair.bat file, right-click Repair.bat, click Delete, and then click Yes.

I had to register over here just to thank you.. so thanks a lot, it fixed my problem !

And also thanks to Reacon because his tips also were very helpfull!

I know your issue is probably fixed. But I ran into a problem where the windows firewall service wouldn't start. It turned out a dependency service BFE couldn't start because the file bfe.dll.mui was missing from the c:\windows\system32\en-us folder. After copying that file from a windows installation inside a VM everything worked great.

upon pressing "use recommended settings" in the firewall settings absolutely nothing happens.

the service shows up now though (after it was completely invisible). when i try to start the service i get an error message referring my to the system event log and the advanced security window still shows error 0x6d9 :(

i just ran the system file checker and apparently some files are corrupt

Have you tried first running the System File Checker and/or the Windows Firewall Troubleshooter from Microsoft?

That is what I did (Windows Firewall Troubleshooter) when I received the same error as the OP. Was actually a little shocked when it worked.

  • 4 weeks later...

I unfortunately tried every possible solution given on this thread and to no avail,

my firewall still won't come on, neither will windows defender. I was only able to restart base filtering, any more suggestion... Anyone ?

I'm starting to consider reinstalling window's, if I backup my files is there any danger the virus will copy itself on my backup drive?

I don't think it's still present I ran AVG, security essential and defender offline they all said that my PC was clean any thoughts.

Download D7 and go to Windows Repair > Repair Windows Firewall, done. After that open up Firewall.cpl and you should be able to click on Recommended settings and be set.

This tool is specifically designed to fix the damage done by 0.access.

Wow it worked! Thank you very much Cougar Dan

At first it didin't but I restarted D7 with administrative rights and then went in service to start the firewall

tested my firewall at www.grc.com with shield's up it's a computer security site I found 6 or 7 years ago

now every thing is in the green

And again thank you all for helping me out

Well on thing is you have Java 1.7 which is  a target of hackers and Java 1.8.0_X is the current.  I have a question  that i found the same thing with the MS security when I have Norton 360 installed. The issue I have in my companies VPN pulse wasn't compatible with Norton 360 in Windows 10. I created a VM with WIndows 7 and tested Norton 360 with MS security and it would alllow me to make MS active even if I turned 360 or 3 or 4 more Security tools  (AVG, Micro trend and Avast). When MS was the only one on the machine all the services and task started like they are supposed to. I installed pulse and was able to contact to my work pc with now issues.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
