Windows Firewall is enabled and runs by default on computers running Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. You can choose to turn it off for various reasons but it is not recommended as the firewall protects your computer allowing malicious content and from unauthorized users accessing your system via network.
Note: You will have to run the command via admin elevated command prompt if needed
Using following command you can check the status of your windows firewall
C:\WINDOWS\system32> Netsh Advfirewall show allprofiles
