Retrieve lost Windows XP Firewall

I have a strange problem with Windows XP: After looking at the "Local Area Connection" property and switching to the "Advanced" tab, the Windows Firewall (ICF) that should have appeared is missing! Instead, a prompt is replaced. : "Windows cannot display the properties of this connection. Windows Management Instrumentation (Windows Management Instrumentation Component WMI) information may be corrupted. To correct this problem, use System Restore to restore Windows to an earlier point in time..." (see figure 1).

Figure 1

but the author of the system after installation has already closed the System Restore feature, what to do I turn to try to do the following:?

Try 1: In view of the NIC failure, first choose to reinstall the NIC driver after uninstalling the NIC in the Device Manager, and the fault remains.

Try 2: Right click on "Local Area Connection", select the "Repair" command, wait a moment, the system prompts "Repair operation is completed. If the problem persists, please contact your network administrator." Or contact the ISP." At this time, the fault still exists, and when you right-click "Local Area Connection" and select the "Bridge" command, the system prompts "An abnormal error occurred while configuring the network bridge."

Try 3: Because the above two conventional solutions can't work, consider reinstalling or repairing Windows XP, but with the attitude of trying to use "Windows Management Instrumentation" as a key word Search on the search engine and find a solution, as follows:

Step 1: Right click on "My Computer", select the "Manage" menu, and then navigate to "Computer Management (Local )→→Services and Applications→Services item, find the “Windows Management Instrumentation” item in the right window, double-click to open, click the “Stop” button in the pop-up window.

Step 2: Go to the C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem\\Repository directory on the local disk. After deleting all the files in the directory, restart the computer. After logging in, the system will re-create the required files in the directory and automatically start the WMI service that was just stopped.

Tip:

The fault is caused by a corrupted file in the C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem\\Repository directory. WMI will be in every 30~60. The file in this directory is called between seconds, so the above error message will be received. Other chain reactions that can be caused by this fault are: unable to view the "local connection" attribute, the system does not respond when running the msinfo32 (view system information) command, and the system prompts "Failed to connect to" when the wmimgmt.msc command is run to open the WMI management unit. Local computer due to WMI: Generic failure" error.
