Wifi Issue due to Win10 2004 - Not Connected, Secured Solved

Question

Hello,  I'm not sure, but I believe Comodo Firewall is causing this problem with Windows 10 2004.  Even uninstalling Comodo doesn’t seem to fix the issue, nor does the Windows troubleshooter.      Some programs like Firefox or Windows Update manage to connect, but Spotify, for example, does not.  This is a secondary PC moving from Win 1909 to 2004 where Comodo was already installed and had the same problem at the start, as well as with a fresh installation I did on another PC in May, where I had installed Comodo, and with which I came back discouraged to version 1909.  I've just done a new installation and installed SimpleWall instead; I'll see how it goes, so far no issues.  Has anyone else seen this problem with Win10 2004 and Comodo Firewall?  Unless the problem lies elsewhere?  I'm questioning...  Thank you in advance.  Configuration: Windows / Firefox 69.0

Hello, w10 comes with Defender, and you install 'comodo ??? a software layer that degrades/suffocates your computer... why do you do this? don't you trust Microsoft? in that case, go to linux or ios... Best regards,

I have been using Comodo Firewall for over 10 years; I only allow what I want to enter or exit my system.  When properly configured, it is not intrusive and adds significant protection.

Are you telling me that Comodo can open/close a communication port without informing Windows?

I am not the programmer of Comodo, I don't know everything it does behind the scenes.

Hello, a week ago I had the 2004 update installed, and I indeed think that Comodo is causing major issues windows, blue screen crashes and blocking the wifi and ethernet card.  It eventually completely locked up windows, and I had to reinstall it. Boot was dead in the process.  From my experience, I would recommend uninstalling it until a proper compatible version is available.  Instead, it takes a good hour to properly configure the Windows firewall.

Hello,   Since Vista, the only firewall is the one from Windows... with sometimes another graphical interface (Comodo, Privatefirewall, etc...), which often have some issues, like antivirus programs, during major updates of Windows 10.  It's not very useful to filter outgoing traffic, and it's a matter for specialists who know in detail all the processes of each version of Windows 10.

Ultimately, I think it's not due to Comodo, because the same problem has occurred on a PC with ZoneAlarm.  So, I think it's due to the driver of my Realtek RTL8812BU network dongles or the signed Microsoft driver.  I uninstalled the driver and installed a Realtek one, no change.

I just double-checked the PC with SimpleWall, and the same problem.  Out of the blue, both PCs, when everything was working fine after the installation the day before.

Problem solved.  The value of the EnableActiveProbing key in the registry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet] had been set to 0; I don't know why, or what changed it, and by setting it back to 1 and restarting Windows, the problem is resolved.  So just set it back to 1 using Regedit, or create a key with the .REG extension instead of .TXT and run it:  Here is the .REG key (The entire text written in bold)  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet]"EnableActiveProbing"=dword:00000001

I found the source of the problem.  It’s O&O ShutUp10  When you apply all the settings, it’s the last setting at the bottom.  Network Connectivity Status Indicator Disabled  It should be like this:    (Not disabled)
