Bitdefender virtual disk in windows 11

Petersl

Hi devs,

I've installed a new desktop with windows 11 and installed bitdefender total security on it. It shows in the windows disk manager a "Bitdefender Virtual Disk", this is normal I presume?

I don't have this virtual disk on any of my other windows 10 PC's, what's this virtual disk for?

Hi @Petersl

Yes, this is "normal" on Windows 11 devices, it's part of the web protection.

What is the Bitdefender Virtual Disk?

The Bitdefender Virtual Disk is a small, system-level virtual block device used internally by Bitdefender as part of its web protection architecture for modern networking protocols. This virtual device acts as an internal isolation and communication mechanism between Bitdefender components, allowing secure inspection and protection of HTTP/3 traffic over the QUIC protocol without storing user data.

I hope this answered your question.

Kind regards.
