STATUS_FWP_CONNECTIONS_DISABLED

IPsec connection tracking is disabled in the Base Filtering Engine

The Base Filtering Engine tracks IPsec connection state for policy enforcement. This status means a request depended on that state, but connection tracking was disabled.

Check whether IPsec connection processing was intentionally disabled by policy, service state, or administrative configuration. Restore the owning feature before investigating individual transforms or credentials.

What to inspect

Check BFE and IPsec policy settings.
Review Filtering Platform Policy Change audit events.
Confirm that security software has not disabled IPsec connection tracking.
