This commit updates documentation to clarify the impacts of disabling firewall services, specifically how they affect Windows Sandbox, Docker and WSL. This update responds to user feedback from issues #115, #152, #364. The documentation now guides users more clearly on the consequences of their actions, potentially preventing unintended service disruptions. Changes include: - Expand the caution notes to explicitly mention the impact on virtualization and isolation features like Windows Sandbox, Docker and WSL. - Expand script titles to briefly mention affects on these features. - Expand documentation to suggest system restart. - Add an informative message to restart the computer in terminal outputs after service changes to ensure the settings are applied.
