BD Internet Security Firewall Not Enabled On First Boot And Restart Enables Firewall. Any Help?

freespeaker

BD Internet Security installed about a week now.(Win10)

Last day or so I notice Win 10 Network Folder is blank, not showing computers or printers etc. I also notice firewall settings in BD is not showing any networks (I'm connected Ethernet) - The connected drop down is blank also and next to the network type it just says 'IDS'

I restart and everything is back to normal. This behavior is the same from booing t from off not a restart.

In notifications, it indicates firewall status has changed and that it has been enabled.

I have two compters side by side (one desktop and one laptop) with BD installed with same BD settings. The desktop does not exhibit this behavior.

Thank you for any insights on this one.

Best regards.
