"Can't Start Windows 10 Firewall"


          

So far for me, this appears to be a problem without a solution. Notified by W10 that my Windows Firewall needed to be started, Tried to do that but no can do. Googled the problem and found dozens with the same problem and no working solutions. Windows services indicates the firewall is running on automatic but when going to its properties pressing the Start button gives me the attached message.

Anyone also have this problem?

None worked. In addition, the MS website (Fix It For Me) link for repairing the firewall opens to network repair not firewall repair.
