Windows Security Center incorrectly reports the status of Endpoint Security Firewall or Host Intrusion Prevention Firewall

Technical Articles ID: KB92235
Last Modified: 1/14/2022

Environment

Endpoint Security (ENS) Firewall 10.6.1
Host Intrusion Prevention (Host IPS) Firewall 8.0 Patch 14
Microsoft Windows Security Center (WSC)

Problem

After switching between ENS Firewall and Host IPS Firewall, WSC incorrectly reports the status of ENS Firewall and Host IPS Firewall. For example, after disabling Host IPS Firewall and enabling ENS Firewall, WSC reports the status of ENS Firewall as disabled. The product functionality isn't affected for either ENS Firewall or Host IPS Firewall.

Cause

Because of registration issues with WSC, the status in WSC doesn't update correctly.

Solution

This issue is resolved in ENS 10.6.1 February 2020 Update.
