Has Norton firewall been tested in Microsoft Windows 11?

There is a problem of Norton Internet Security Firewall is being automatically turned off and greyed out when running on Microsoft Windows 11. A pop up notification comes up notifying Firewall has been turned off do you want to fix it,  Clicking Fix it does absolutely nothing.  Running Norton's Uninstall/Reinstall  allows the firewall on/off switch to work momentarily but soon there is a pop up notification Saying "You have turned off Norton Firewall".  Checking Norton Settings shows firewall switch is now in the off position and greyed  out. Nothing was done to turn the firewall off and even if one was to turn the firewall switch off they certainly would not have the ability to grey-out the complete setting panel.

Much testing using all the tools provided by Norton and Microsoft there appears to be one solution.  Norton Internet Security is NOT compatible with Windows 11 so Uninstall/Reinstall is not a solution since the new install is the same as the one it replaces.

I would like a to know from someone who knows for sure if Norton Internet Security has been tested on Windows 11 and if so when do they expect to release a compatible version to their loyal expectant customer base.

@msgray11 Disable fast startup in Windows and restart the computer then retest. I use N360 latest version on Windows 11 and NS Ultra on Windows 10 respectively. Both are well tested and work as designed.

I use Norton Security Online on Windows 11 and it runs fine.

If I were you I would check for viruses with Trend Micro's Housecall or a similar service just to be sure your pc is not infected.

I can't say anything definitive on this other than it works fine on all the computers I have in my home. Two are running Windows 11 [one Home; one Pro]. The other has Windows 10. I have never seen that pop-up, nor have I ever experienced a grayed-out firewall in settings. So, my first guess would be it is somehow related to your system. Hopefully, you'll get a better answer from one of the pros out there.
