Hello all!
After my computer would not resume from sleep I had to do a hard restart and now my windows firewall will not start. I noticed the issue due to not being able to get my wireguard VPN to activate because it could not create the appropriate firewall rules.
Now I see in my event log lots of BFE service and Microsoft Defender Firewall service errors.
Only things I have done so far is check sc query mpssvc and sc qc mpssvc and try to run the "repair" (method 3) listed in this microsoft help thread: “0x8007042c” error message when you try to start Windows Firewall - Microsoft Support.
Results of sc query mpssvc:
