Kylito Posted April 21 ID:1631734 Share Posted April 21 I am having the same issue as described here, but the solution is not well documented. This is an ongoing issue that I have seen across the web, but have yet to find an actual solution. As noted in the original post: > I downloaded an ISO image of Windows 11 and reinstalled while keeping data and applications. This got the firewall to work again but it failed on the first subsequent reboot and the other errors came back as well. I have tried to delete the hives, even in safe mode, (BFE, SecurityHealthService, mpssvc, RpcSs and wuauserv) - but a few of them can't be deleted, and even so upon reboot the issue remains. Can you please point me to somewhere, where I can get this fixed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylito Posted April 23 Author ID:1631996 Share Posted April 23 I am @AdvancedSetup - I am not sure if the scans are necessary given the context. Basically I am just wondering how to know what values to merge to my existing registries to fix this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 23 Root Admin ID:1632002 Share Posted April 23 Aside from a hardware failure you should not have such an issue. I've personally installed Windows on probably a thousand systems in my career and not a single one has such failure. Did you follow good practices of installing Windows clean. Including verifying the HASH of the downloaded image from Microsoft? Clean Install Windows 10 & 11 (2023) https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/clean-install-windows-10-11-2023/1c426bdf-79b1-4d42-be93-17378d93e587 Also, please review the following topic Bypass Microsoft Online Account Creation during installation of Windows 11 https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/296613-bypass-microsoft-online-account-creation-during-installation-of-windows-11/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 23 Root Admin ID:1632003 Share Posted April 23 If you own your own router and are not renting it from your Internet Service Provider Please ensure that you have the user manual for your router. Then perform a factory reset. How To Reset Your Router https://setuprouter.com/networking/how-to-reset-your-router/ Depending on one's preferences and the Router's capabilities please consider the following. Disable acceptance of ICMP Pings Change the Default Router password using a Strong Password Use a Strong WiFi password on WPA2 using AES encryption or Enable WPA3 if it is an option. Disable Remote Management Create separate WiFi networks for groups of devices with similar purposes to prevent an entire network of devices from being compromised if a malicious actor is able to gain unauthorized access to one device or network. Example: Keep IoT devices on one network and mobile devices on another. Change the network name (SSID). Do not use your; Name, Postal address or other personal information. Make it unique or whimsical and known to your family/group. Is the Router Firmware up-to-date ? Updating the firmware mitigates exploitable vulnerabilities. Specifically set Firewall rules to BLOCK; TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139, 445, 1234, 3389, 5555 and 9034 Document passwords created and store them in a safe but accessible location.
