For the last few months my BD Firewall mysteriously turns off without me being notified and Defender is turned on. Been trying to resolve on my own with no luck.
I appreciate any thoughts on what is going on and how to resolve.
Hello @Dutchman5898,
In the event the issue persists after applying the above repair procedure, before contacting the Support teams, check if this article helps:
Let us know the results and I shall advise further.

Thanks for the help. It pointed me in the right directions to solve the problem….. Since I previously uninstalled Bitdefender, I made sure BFE was installed and running. However, there was no BFE “key” associated with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BFE\.
Not knowing what else may be missing, I elected to download and execute the contents of BFE_repair.zip. That resulted in my system encountering a BFE 1803 error, which I knew how to address via w11-bfe-service.zip; which is attached. Then I created the BFE “key” and set its permissions to allow the following for BFE:
· Query Value
· Set Value
· Create Subkey
· Enumerate Subkeys
· Notify
· Read Control (this was added by default when the BFE”key” was add)
It's been almost 32 hr. since the above fix was made. So far Bit Defender Firewall stays activated and all appears to work as it should.
Yep, I probably could have done the same thing after running BRE_repair, I just wasn’t sure if all the appropriate registry items for Windows 11 were added/repaired.
Thanks for the help. Stay well.
Happy to help, thanks for following up 👍🏻
You too
