Issue at Hand:

When I go to the “Wireless Network Connection 2” Properties, and click on the “Advanced” tab, then click on Windows Firewall “Settings” button, I get a message that says:

“Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service?” I click “Yes.” Then I get a message that “Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Services (ICS) service.” I tried doing the Network Setup Wizard, and everything appears fine then.

Try This:

  1. Go to run and type services.msc. 
  2. Scroll down to ‘Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)’. now double-click it. a window should pop up with different tabs. it should say it’s startup type= automatic and service type=started.
  3. Look under the dependencies tab for the dependent services and make sure they’re started as well. also, under the recovery tab, change the failure options to ‘restart the service’
  4. Then, Start > Run > CMD / NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Good to go
