Which command disables the Windows Firewall for all profiles?

  1. netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

  2. netsh firewall disable

  3. netsh advfirewall turn off

  4. netsh advfirewall block all

The correct answer is: netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

The command that disables the Windows Firewall for all profiles is "netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off." This command is specifically designed to interact with the Advanced Firewall settings in Windows. The term "allprofiles" indicates that the command applies to all firewall profiles, which include domain, private, and public profiles. Using "set" indicates that you are specifying a particular state for the firewall, and "state off" directly instructs the system to turn off the firewall. This is a precise and effective way to disable the firewall across all configurations, ensuring that none of the profiles maintain an active firewall state. Other commands, while related to firewall management, do not encompass the functionality to disable the firewall across all profiles in the same way.
