Laggy GUI after todays update (20/09/24)

New bitdefender user here.

After the client update this morning, the BitDefender GUI is extremely laggy. It takes about 30 seconds to respond to a click.

    Hello.
    -- STEP 1 --
    Repair Bitdefender, by following these steps:
    https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/13429/
    -- STEP 2 --
    If the instructions from Step 1 didn't help, uninstall the Bitdefender program using the Uninstall Tool:
    https://www.bitdefender.com/links/uninstall_consumer_paid.html
    Under Latest Generation, select Bitdefender Total Security. The Ununstall Tool will completely remove the program.
    Next, reinstall Bitdefender from your Bitdefender Central account and see if the issue has been solved, as reinstalling the program usually solves the issues.
    -- STEP 3 --
    If the instructions from Step 2 didn't help, follow the instructions in this step.
    First, take screenshot(s) of the issue
    and create a log file on your Windows device using Bitdefender Support Tool, by following these steps:
    https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/1733/
    Next, contact Bitdefender Consumer Support by e-mail:
    https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/help/
    with short description of the issue.
    After that, you will get an automated reply by the Bitdefender Customer Care Team, with your ticket number.
    Now, in reply to that automated reply, you can send the screenshot(s) you already took and the log file you already created in the first step.
    Since you are all done, just wait for the support engineers to investigate your issue and find a solution to fix the issue.
    Remember that the screenshot(s) and the log file will help a lot to the support engineers for better and faster investigation on your issue and finding a solution.
    NOTE: If the log file is larger than 25MB, you can upload the log file here:
    https://upload.bitdefender.net/
    After the upload is done, you will get a notification with the file's URL and then you can share the file's URL with the Bitdefender Consumer Support.
    Regards.

  • A reinstall didnt work.

    Windows Secutiry Centre now also saying Bitdefender Antivirus Protection is out of date, and Bitdefender will not start updating when selecting the "Update Now" option from the system tray context menu.

    I already have a ticket open for another issue so I guess I'll mention this there too.
