Why do you think turning off Windows Firewall will improve you gameplay?

Please list you system specifications for reference.

I'll agree...what in the firewall makes you think it's preventing things in your gameplay?

Also, you do know that you can allow programs through the firewall, right? You don't have to turn it all the way off...just open for specific things.
