Windows ships with ICMP reply disabled in the firewall. Here is a quick 2 liner in powershell to enable ping replys.

Import-Module NetSecurity
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" -enabled True

This only works in English versions of the OS. Found it though with the ICMPv4 in my displayname.
