Unwanted notification: "Turn on windows firewall". I don't want it.

I want to preface this by saying I did search for the answer to this question but the ones I found were obsolete.

So I'm behind physical firewalls on my home network and I've turned off the windows firewall. Now I get a nagging notification urging me to turn it back on. I want to turn off this notification but I can't find a way to do that. "Manage notifications" doesn't say anything about the firewall and when I click on the little gear inside this notification the options are greyed out.

Is the built in firewall causing you some issue? Security is all about layering.

When security messages are grayed out, there is nothing you can do, only disable all notifications.

Windows Firewall has zero performance impact, just enable it and set all profiles to allow all in/out.

But that defeats the purpose of the option to turn it off. I want it off, not on but pointlessly there. And I know what I'm doing, I don't need windows nagging me every time it decides. Makes no sense to me to have the option to turn it off, but a nanny come along and sternly point the wooden spoon at me...

There used to be an option to change how windows alerts you, and you could turn it off... now it seems that despite having the option to disable it, it's not going to be silent about it....

Your router functions as a hardware firewall, while Windows includes a software firewall. Software firewalls allow you to easily control network access on a per-application basis.
