The Windows Defender controls in Windows 10 show firewall status and controls as well, but the Windows Firewall is still a separate technology and should still work fine without Windows Defender.

Hello @soilentgreen With EAM installed: Left-Click Start > Settings > Update and Security > "Windows Defender" (in left-side column) > Click On "Turn On Windows Defender Antivirus > "Firewall & Protection" should say "no action needed" OR Right-Click Start Button > "Search" > "Contol Panel" > "System and Security" > "Windows Defender Firewall" [Handy to right-click on Control Panel and Pin to Task Bar if you like the old-style Win Control Panel.]
