When you try to change your Windows Firewall settings, the options are greyed out and you can't make any changes.
To fix this, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, then type Windows Firewall in the Search box.
- Click Windows Firewall, and then click Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall.
- Click the Change settings button. If a User Account Control window appears, click Yes, or enter your user name and password, then click OK.
You can now make changes to your Windows Firewall settings.
