Disable Windows 11 Firewall

Situatie

Windows 11 has a built-in firewall called Windows Defender Firewall. It works pretty well at protecting your computer from outside threats without causing too much trouble, but there are situations where it can get in the way. If you’re tired of dealing with connectivity problems, then you can turn off the Windows 11 firewall and open your computer up to the internet.
