Both Avast & W11 firewalls reported as on

[aonghus]

Hi,

I've recently installed Avast One and in the Windows 11 security center both Avast and Windows Defender firewalls are stated to be on.  I had assumed that Avast would turn the Windows Defender firewall off. 

Can I safely manually turn the WD firewall off (which I know how to do)?  Does the Avast firewall need it to be on (as some products which rely on th in built firewall do)?

Thanks,

A

Hi,

It generally should disable Windows Defender.
Did you restart Windows after installing Avast One?
Can you please provide a screenshot (security centre showing firewalls)
