Why does the latest Bitdefender update block all network applications ?

After the newest Bitdefender update was installed and my computer restarted, I can no longer access the internet using Chrome or Edge, Microsoft One Drive can not connect, and I am no longer able to RDP to other computers on my local network. I tried to disable every module in Bitdefender and nothing would work. The only way to regain access to the internet was to uninstall Bitdefender. This has occurred on 5 different Windows 10 computers. Is there another update available to fix this ?

    Do the following steps:

    -- STEP 1 --

    Repair Bitdefender, by following these steps:

    -- STEP 2 --

    If the instructions from Step 1 didn't help, uninstall the Bitdefender program using the Uninstall Tool:

    It will completely remove the program.

    Next, reinstall Bitdefender from your Bitdefender Central account and see if the issue has been solved, as reinstalling the program usually solves the issues.

    -- STEP 3 --

    If the instructions from Step 2 didn't help, follow the instructions in this step.

    First, take screenshot(s) of the issue,

    create a log file on your Windows device using Bitdefender Support Tool, by following these steps:

    After that, you will get an automated reply by the Bitdefender Customer Care Team, with your ticket number.

    Now, in reply to that automated reply, you can send the screenshot(s) you already took and the log files you already created.

    Since you are all done, just wait for the support engineers to investigate your issue and find a solution to fix the issue.
