bddci.sys permanently using 25-30% CPU

FlipFlops2001

According to Sysinternals Process Explorer 64, [bddci.sys] is constantly consuming 12+% of CPU resources. This issue just began today after having BD Free up and running for the past 3 months. Normally BD uses minimal CPU time. It is now using 4 out of 8 of the i7 threads with each of the 4 threads averaging ~25% activity. Normally when idle, CPU averages around 98% free.

I do not believe BD is performing a scan as there is no drive activity detected.

12% usage is a major issue when trying to run processor intensive programs like x265.exe video conversion which can continuously use between 90-100% of all processor threads for an extended period of time without other running programs.

See attach for ProcExp results and system specs. (Yes, I have rebooted. Normally do not do this for 10+ days due to conscientious maintenance resulting in a clean computer. No virus, no malware, no nothing!)

The same issue here. Uninstalling, installing the new Windows Update from today, rebooting and reinstalling did help up to the next reboot. Behaviour is the same again. Process Explorer Screenshot

Yeah, having the same issue also after bddci.sys was updated yesterday (3 May 2019) at 5:28 pm GMT+8. It's taking up 25-30% CPU at all times.

I do note that this thread is in the wrong section though, this is not for BD Mobile/Android but for BD Free, heh.

We started a thread in the wrong section. Since the update from yesterday, Bitdefender's bddci.sys consumes 25-30% CPU all the time, wasting power and making the fan run.

You're right. I started a new thread in the proper sub forum and put a link to this thread.

With the most recent up date like 10 minutes ago, it seems to be fixed.

Re-installed the software, rebooted - can confirm, works correct again!
