Hi ARLK! Ensure there is no 3rd party security software to block
Windows
Firewall (Internet Security suits or other firewall) . If you have such
you
don't need Windows Firewall .

However , if this is not the case , you are very likely to be infected
by
a
malicious software . Check using antivirus and antispyware software


unless this is not a standalone and the domain is controlling this


Yes , I simply considered the OP home user and I forgot to mention this
option . Thank you for additing it . Regards!

No problem, and thanks for understanding the intent. It gets a bit involved
at times to state things in scenario neutral way.
