After Recent Windows Update, Firewall Service Won’t Start
When Windows Updated Yesterday, the Firewall Service would no longer Start! {This Also caused a Repeating Error Message that the Firewall was not running. It provides Error-Message 0x800706d9} (The Firewall Service merely STAYS in the state where it is Continually displays “Starting”.)
I ran the Firewall Troubleshooter – which did Nothing.
After doing everything I could think of (with Zero Success) to get the Firewall Service to Start, including Frequently Re-Clicking the Button to Reset Firewall Rules to "Default", And Rebooting Numerous times, I gave up And Restored the System Drive from Backup.
My Concern, of course, is that when I Next Let Windows do its Update {Required Very Soon} I will AGAIN have the Identical Quandary!! My Windows Version is 2004, Build 19041.572.
Your Advice Or Suggestions will be very appreciated.

P.S.: I noticed that this Windows Update includes installing the New Edge Browser. So I thought that one thing I would also try is Proactively installing Edge Prior to doing the Update.
