    Hi @vpn update

    That is correct, the app is updated automatically when a newer version is available, there is no "check for update" option. The update may be rolled out gradually, as with the BD desktop security app, as I'm currently on v25.5.4.4.


    Kind regards,

    @vpn update On a PC restart, my VPN updated to the same version as yours.

    When it updates, it does display a notification that it has been updated on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The notification only lasts about 2-3 seconds, then is gone.

    BD VPN does not update automatically on all of my computers. Only when I uninstall and reinstall it do I get the latest version.


    For example:

    One PC: 26.1.0.54 (I deleted VPN and reinstalled it)

    Laptop: 26.1.0.50 (no update)

    @Tester4321 ,

    Thank you for your post. This topic is old. I wonder if a Moderator would want to move it to its own topic.

    Wow, I am running Version 26.1.0.28! I see no option to manually update my older version.

    @Alexandru_BD , can you clarify this? He is our Forum Administrator and will be back at work tomorrow.

    This might be something that needs to be investigated . . .

    Have a great day, and thank you for raising this issue.

  • Hello,

    I'll jump in with a few insights. The latest VPN version has not been deployed for all users. The main reason behind this decision was that the developers introduced some new fixes and waited for confirmation that they really solve certain things and bring the expected improvements. Testing will reveal if the complete update rollout gets the green light in approximately two weeks from now, when everyone should receive the latest version automatically.

    Please could you report this error in the reliability history
    

    This error is logged all the the after starting Windows 11 since Version 26.1.0.54. It has no effect on starting Windows, there's no system crash. I detected it by random looking into the reliability history.

  • Hi @Tester4321 and thank you for sharing the error details here.

    May I kindly ask you to submit the error information to the Support engineers for further investigation? I wish I could help here, but the APPCRASH - unifiedSDK.service.exe message suggests it has something to do with the SDKs that are often used by developers to integrate certain functionalities, as such, it needs an informed opinion. You can use this link to get in touch with them:

    Let us know how it goes.

  • I tried it 4 times to send my logfile and a screenshot to your Support. But after starting sending process the "I'm no robot checkbox" deletes my hook and wants it reset. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible as the page is still in the upload process. This is how the system hangs up. Bitdefender seems to be having some problems at the moment. This VPN SDK-error tooks me so much time ...

    @Tester4321 please get in touch with the Support engineers via phone or chat and they will open a ticket for you and also provide further guidance on how to attach the logs, if the form is not working for some reason. Based on my findings, it should work, I'm not sure exactly what's going on there. Nevertheless, I've asked my colleagues to investigate and make sure the upload works as expected.

    Thanks,
