Step 4:  Switch the Microsoft Defender Firewall setting to On.
                 If you need to disable it, switch the setting to Off. Disabling the firewall can increase vulnerability, so it's better to allow
                 specific apps through the firewall rather than turning it off completely.

                         WHAT ARE TEMPORARY FILES?


                 Temporary files are created temporarily by programs that store information related to the file you are working on
                 in your computer. It  increases the efficiency of  the software and also helps in recovering the data at the time of
                 unexpected closing of the file due to power failure or system shut down.

                 Temporary files are deleted automatically when the task or program you have been working on is completed. If all the
                 programs in a computer are closed and temporary files still exist then look for files with the extension .tmp in the folder
                 TEMP. They are of no use and they block a lot of disk space. It is better to delete them as they hinder the performance
                 of your computer. If the deleted temporary file is required by the program again then it is automatically recreated
                 without affecting your programs.

                 To remove temporary files in a computer follow the given steps:
                 Step 1:   Press the Windows (  ) key.
                 Step 2:   Type “disk cleanup” and press Enter.
                 Step 3:   If asked, choose the drive you want to clean and click OK.
                 Step 4:  Look through the file types and select the ones you want to delete.

                 Step 5:  Click OK to start the cleanup.
