Why Bitdefender's update interval automatically set to 8 hours?

AnthonyQ

Hi,

I'm running Bitdefender 26.0.14.65, and I've noticed that after adjusting the update interval to 1 hour, it would automatically revert to 8 hours after a while. It annoys me.

And after some search, I've discovered that other users are having the same issue:

https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/90000/bitdefender-update-interval-setting-not-saved

Therefore I believe it is a bug that should be investigated and fixed as soon as possible.

Hello @AnthonyQ,

Check the responses on the other thread here:

This happens because of an active profile in Bitdefender and it's expected behavior.

Best regards.
