Bitdefender Issue – Slowing Down My System?
Hey everyone,
I've been using Bitdefender Total Security for about 6 months now, and recently, I've noticed my system has been running slower than usual. I've got a pretty decent setup (i7, 16GB RAM, SSD), so it shouldn't be a hardware issue.
It seems like my startup is taking longer, and I sometimes experience random system slowdowns when Bitdefender is performing a scan or running in the background. Has anyone else experienced something similar with Bitdefender? Could it be a setting I need to adjust, or maybe a conflict with another program?
I’ve already tried some basic troubleshooting like disabling certain features (like Safe Files and Anti-Tracker), but it’s still not helping much. Any advice or tweaks I could try before I consider switching AV software?
Thanks in advance!
Follow-up questions:
- Has anyone compared system performance between Bitdefender and other AV solutions like Kaspersky or Norton recently?
- Could a recent update be causing this slowdown?
- Are there any known issues with Bitdefender and Windows 11?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Following.
First, I would recommend this article:
In regard to your follow up questions, there are plenty of comparisons out there made by reputable testers such as AV-Test, AV-Comparatives, etc. Independent testers usually compare system performance figures as well.
You can check the thread below for the latest tests and comparisons and visit the leading agencies' websites to view specific results for various tests:There are no known issues with Bitdefender and Windows 11.
Now, what about that PDF? 🙂
