You may encounter error code “0x80070424” when you try to manage Windows Firewall or run Windows Update. The problem here is with the “Windows Modules Installer” service or the “TrustedInstaller.exe” file. First solution is to try to restart the service. Press the Windows key + R to bring up the “Run” dialog then type without quotes “services.msc” then hit Enter.

In the “Services” window, scroll down and look for the “Windows Modules Installer” service. Double-click it to open the “Properties”. In the properties window, in “General” tab, “Startup type” should be set to “Manual”. Click “Start” to start the service manually then click “OK”. Run the Windows Firewall again then see if it works.
