How to turn windows firewall service off permanently?

Windows 10 1607. I stop windows firewall service and change it to disabled. But after system reboot it returns to Running and Autostart. How to totally disable firewall service? Please do not suggest ways that will not lead to service permanent stop.

When I disable the firewall service then it stays disabled. If this is different on your machine then you must have some agent that keeps re-enabling it. You now need to find this agent. Here are a few steps you need to take:

  • Run services.msc and disable the service. Close services.msc, then re-open it 5 minutes later. Is the service enabled or disabled?
  • Reboot the machine into Safe Mode with Shift+Restart. Is the service enabled or disabled?
