My firewall turns off on computer restart

[TesteEfetuado]

Hello,

I'm currently on Windows 10 Home, version 1803. I'm using McAfee LiveSafe version 16.0 R16.

I have two issues; a (hopefully) small one, and a big one.

1. The big one: often, when I turn my computer off and then back on again, I get a notification saying that the McAfee Firewall has been turned off. This notification appears when I open my internet browser, on the McAfee task bar; on the same bar I choose the option to fix it, and it appears to be turned back on again.

2. The (hopefully) small one: Windows Defender keeps saying my firewall is turned off, without the option to turn it on. I usually check McAfee LiveSafe and it tells me the firewall is up and working; looking at  "Security History", I can see the connections the firewall has blocked, so it appears that Windows Defender is wrong.

Any idea of how I could fix those two issues? For the first one, I guess some service has not been set on automatic, but I have no idea which one; for the second issue, it looks like some sort of compatibility problem, but I have no idea how to solve it.

Thanks!
