Will Windows Defender Firewall Conflict with Norton Firewall

Judy-

No, I haven't done anything to stop the update, I just assumed the update would install automatically. It hasn't done so yet.I hadn't allowed Windows Defender to run prior to this because I prefer the Norton anti-virus/firewall. Will the Creator update automatically include Windows defender firewall, and if so, can I disable Windows Defender's firewall?

Judy,
Thanks for the info. I am always apprehensive about updates, so I hope it goes well for me. If not, you know I'll be back asking for your help, so I'll thank you in advance.

Will do thanks

Have you downloaded the Creators Update yet?

When I Googled disabling Windows Defender after Creators update, I've seen some problems people have had trying to disable Windows Defender permanently.


Judy-

If I disable Norton while running the Creators Update, will enabling Norton after the update disable Windows Defender as bigbarney suggests, or am I misunderstanding this.

Thanks,
Mary

Mary, please take this in the way I mean it, the nicest way possible, I believe you are looking for trouble where there is no trouble. It is well known that when folks use Norton Firewall that it WILL turn off the Windows Firewall automatically. Whether that firewall is called Windows Firewall or Windows Defender Firewall Norton will handle it.
Barney gave you the correct answer about this in his post right here #7 and he expanded on that in his reply right above this one. 
He has a brand new computer so his computer does have the Fall Creators Update.

Barney also told you that he has never had to turn off Nortons when doing updates....Follow HIS advice NOT mine. I gave that only as a possible thing to do if you have trouble when the update comes in. I should have kept my mouth shut. Do what Barney says, HE uses Norton, He has the Fall Creators Update.

Don't borrow trouble where there is No trouble. You seem to be presuming you are going to have many problems with this new update. Why?

Most of us here who have received the Fall Creators Update had no trouble whatsoever. The two people who did have trouble actually had other computer trouble that was compounded when the update tried to come it, the update did NOT cause their problems. One was Barney as he stated above, he had a bad hard drive on his old computer so he bought a new computer. Another member had used lousy internet service for many years so his operating system in general was in disarray. He took it to a tech who cleared all that up and then Fall Creators Update installed without problems.

Stop worrying.

Very true. Also, "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
