I believe that the firewall was ALWAYS running, just the inbound rule issue as being reported.
Another thing that I want to note that does not appear correct is that the C:\Program Files\Windows Defender sub directory shows ALL of the files dated 9/15/2018. On a Win 10 Pro laptop, the file dates are all fairly recent within a couple of months of one another. Not sure what to make of this but it sure seems like something is not correct.
Thanks again for your help and advise -
Jim
