I spent 1-2 hours debloating Windows and it turns out Windows update doesn't work unless you turn back on the Windows firewall service.

I forgot how I disabled it in the first place, so I gave up and installed Linux

    Why the hell would you even want to disable the firewall?

    Do you like insecure devices? Do you also never update? Are you also still on Windows XP or something?

    I'm behind a firewall on my router, why the hell do I want to enable it?
