FWP_E_CONNECTIONS_DISABLED
FWP_E_CONNECTIONS_DISABLED means the requested operation needs Base Filtering Engine IPsec connection tracking, but that feature is disabled by current configuration.
What to check
- Confirm that the Base Filtering Engine service is available and that the installed policy actually enables the required IPsec connection-tracking behavior.
- Check whether a hardening baseline or third-party security product changed the relevant configuration.
- Fix the policy conflict instead of trying to work around it by silently disabling IPsec-dependent functionality.
