Have you checked if Bitdefender updater is allowed in your firewall exception list ?

Bonnie70 if you have windows firewall, follow these few easy steps

Control Panel> Windows Firewall> Adwanced Settings

Than search for Bitdefender* in inbound and outbound rules list. Modify to allow.

I have similar problem and automatic updates no longer work on Bitdefender Total Security 2017,

Bitdefender firewall is running and there's no way to allow Bitdefender in the rules for that I can find.

Last think anyone needs with rapidly changing threat landscape is an AV product that has to be updated manually
