Microsoft has been offering a built-in firewall in the Windows operating system through the Windows Defender tools and the same continues with the newly launched Windows 11 operating system.

This is quite good as a Firewall is vital for the protection of your computer from malware attacks and all sorts of malicious programs. It also allows blocking a program’s access to the internet based on the set rules.

However, sometimes, a harmless application gets categorized as harmful, stopping you from using it. Or if you are using a third-party security application that comes with its own Firewall. In both these cases, you may need to disable the Firewall that is built-in using the Windows Defender.

In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how you can disable the built-in firewall in the Windows 11 operating system.

How to disable Firewall in Windows 11

Step 1: Open the Settings application on your Windows 11 computer. The easiest way is to open it through the Start Menu.

Step 2: In the Settings app, click on the “Privacy & Security” option, and then from the right-side pane, click on the “Windows Security” option.

Do note that it is not a good idea to disable a firewall on your system as it could expose your computer to malicious software that can create many problems on the machine. So, if you are disabling the built-in firewall without the plan of installing a third-party application for the same role, then think twice before you proceed with the action.
