Windows Firewall Errors

When you click Windows Firewall in Control Panel, you may receive the following error message: 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?

If you click Yes, you receive the following error message:
Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service.

If you try to manually start the Windows Firewall service by using Services, you may receive the following error message:
