Disable Windows Firewall Permanently

Windows Firewall continues to run in the background even after other security services are disabled. To completely eliminate background interference and unnecessary logging, we will permanently disable the Windows Defender Firewall using the Services panel and the Registry.

⚠️ Important Warning

Disabling all security services, including Firewall, makes your system completely vulnerable to external threats.
👉 Do not browse the internet, install third-party software, or use this system for anything other than GameLoop.

Step-by-Step: Disable Windows Defender Firewall

📍 Step 1: Turn Off from Control Panel (Temporary)

1. Press Win + R, type control, and press Enter

2. Go to: System and Security → Windows Defender Firewall

3. In the sidebar, click Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off

4. Select both options:

   • Turn off Windows Defender Firewall (private network)

   • Turn off Windows Defender Firewall (public network)

5. Click OK

⚠️ This only disables the firewall temporarily. We’ll now make it permanent.

📍 Step 2: Disable Firewall Service via services.msc

1. Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter

2. Scroll down and locate Windows Defender Firewall

3. Right-click → Properties

4. Under Startup type, select Disabled

5. Click Stop if the service is running

6. Click Apply → OK

💡 Note:
If all buttons are greyed out (Start, Stop, etc.), that means the service is already non-operational. In that case, applying Step 3 will be sufficient to fully disable Windows Firewall.

📍 Step 3: Block Firewall from Restarting via Registry (Optional but Recommended)

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter

2. Navigate to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MpsSvc


3. In the right pane, double-click Start

4. Change the value to 4

5. Click OK and close Registry Editor

✅ Done!

Windows Firewall is now completely disabled and will not restart, even after reboot.

🔐 Final Reminder

This system is no longer protected by any built-in security mechanisms.
Do not use it for anything other than GameLoop.
Stay offline unless absolutely necessary.
