A way to stop MpsSvc (Windows Firewall) service in Windows 10

Is there actually a way to stop MpsSvc.exe service in Windows 10 without a reboot?

I can stop the service neither via UI nor via cmd.

For now, I only know a method when you set the startup type to "disabled" and restart the machine.

The purpose of this operation is to temporary enable firewall service, add firewall rules, and restore the initial service state, if it was initially disabled. This happens during installation. The alternative to this solution is to add rules directly to the registry, but I would like to avoid it as it's not recommended.
