I was a Windows power user, but in Windows 10 I can't do anything. People be like "yeah just use group policy..." but I have home edition which worked perfectly in Windows 7/8. I could disable the anti-virus, I could disable the firewall, etc.

Now I borked my Windows 10 because I downloaded some debloat scripts and now it won't update because update service requires the firewall service which I disabled. Fuck it, not booting into it anymore, Linux 5ever.

    What did you use in place of the built in firewall?

    Nothing, because I'm behind a router

    It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.

    My router has a firewall. There's no point in double firewalling
