The Bitdefender doesn't show up on any drives

bravo0916

Hello.

I installed Bitdefender on my several Windows11 PCs, but I don't see Bitdefender icon when I do right click on any drives like C, D, E, etc. I can see Bitdefender option on any files and folders.

Is this something like "bug"? This is because this is no problem on Windows10 PCs. But I can see this issue on all my Windows11 PCs (3 PCs). Actually, I installed the latest version of Bitdefender.

Thanks for your support.

Hi Gjoksi,

Thanks for your quick response. Well, I already submitted the ticket 2 month ago, but the support guy didn't help this out.

The guy just said "uninstall and reinstall". but I did this several times, but it didn't help at all.

Also, I asked that guy that "try to reproduce the issue on Windows11 OS and let me know if you get the same issue", but the guy said that the same thing that "uninstall and reinstall" over and over. Now, I think this might be bug on Windows11. Besides, all of my Windows11 PC has the same problem.

I really want to know if people who have used Windows11 get this issue or not.

Yes, that's an issue on Windows 11. Don't know why it hasn't been fixed yet. It's a very basic thing.

Currently, as a workaround, you can use the custom scan option to scan drives.

Sorry, I don't follow what you mentioned. Is this possible you to explain by using screen shot?

Anyway, you don't get the issue on Windows11?
