Can Silent Update Notifications be disabled?

Wiseag

I have silent update enabled, which says it updates in the background.

However, I get a notification when the update starts and another when it ends. These notifications take window focus, it does not seem particularly silent.

I can't see any settings to do with these notifications, is there any other way to stop this?

Hello @Wiseag,

The fact that various types of notifications were suppressed does not mean that the product will no longer communicate operation events. In newer versions of Windows, shut down or sleep is no longer equal to restart, due to performance considerations of the operating system. So unless the user explicitly restarts the system, he would no longer be able to replace the update files as he used to do before - that's about what was wrong with deferring service restarts until the machine is restarted the way they used to be. That's why this flow appeared, to allow updates to be carried out when necessary and ensure the devices are restarted properly. When Bitdefender services will restart, Windows will give the user a message that he is no longer protected in the few seconds that Bitdefender services stop and start. It is important, however, that the user sees this pop-up from Bitdefender before seeing the message from Windows, because otherwise it will seem like there is a problem with the antivirus, so that's why it was necessary to have these pop-ups.
