    network discovery wont turn on

    So i have read through the reads and i still can't get it to work. My problem is that my network discovery is set to off, so when i try to turn it on i hit apply and continue then it just loads and nothing happens. I also noticed that my windows firewall won't turn on im not sure if this has anything to do with it. I am also not very computer literate so if you could dumb it down for me that would be great.
