This error is typically shown when Windows Store apps do not install.
If your windows store apps are not installing this is likely the culprit. Known causes of this problem are the stopping of the Windows Firewall service.
To fix this error and re-enable the Windows Firewall service do the following:
- Navigate to the run menu (windows key + R)
- Type services.msc and press enter
- Find Windows Firewall service and double click on it
- Set to Automatic in the dropdown
- Start the service by pressing start
- Press OK to apply the changes
That should fix it. If you are still experiencing problems be sure to state your error report so that others may use it for reference.
Why windows firewall must run, especially if another firewall is running, will remain a mystery.
yeah it works by turning on the firewall
but why is it like that?
Helped me alot, its working again, thanks bro.
it works
doesn’t work–get something called error code 5
Hey Larry, unfortunately I am unable to offer a solution. However, if you are able to find one please write back here so others know. Thanks.
Same issue here. Windows could not start Windows firewall… refer to service-specific error code 5.
Sounds like a perquisite service for the firewall is not started, or set to disabled/manual when it should be automatic.
thanks for updating these information. It fixed my problem
Yes,.. It works. Know somebody why this problem is resolved by firewall? When I’m creating new application, Visual Studio should register the app when it starts, right?
Gracias
Thanks. It was simple. I am very surprised I didn’t think of it!
