I am required to use windows firewall in order to connect to the internet through my school's network, but when I try to turn it on the application screen for it is all greyed out. I have tried accessing services.msc to restart it but from there it seems to be running fine. I have tried researching this difficulty on the internet and on these forums but have so far found it to be very elusive. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-D.

Jump to PostDo you currently have, or have you had in the past, a third-party firewall program installed?
Jump to PostYour school can't (or at least shouldn't) require that you use two firewalls at the same time; do you mean that they require you to use McAfee's antivirus program? First verify that, even if installed, the McAfee firewall is not actually running.
