File Shredder does not open
I use File Shredder on a regular basis. Last week it quit working. When I right click on a file and select File Shredder, nothing happens. I have completely uninstalled Bitdefender Total Security and reinstalled the program, but File Shredder still does not work. I have a Dell G15 with a 12th generation Intel Core i7-12700H 2.3 GHz processor and 16 GB RAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same here. For a week now the file shredder does not open anymore. Neither via tile in the app nor via context menu.
De-/reinstallation done as recommended: did not help.

Here are some things you can try:
1) Make sure that Bitdefender Total Security is up to date. You can check for updates by going to the Bitdefender icon in the system tray, clicking on Menu, and selecting Check for updates.
2) Restart your computer. This may sometimes fix software issues.
3) Disable any third-party antivirus programs that you're using. Sometimes, third-party antivirus programs can interfere with Bitdefender Total Security.
4) Create a new user account on your computer and try using Bitdefender File Shredder from that account. This will help you determine if the issue is with your user account or with Bitdefender Total Security itself.
If you're still having trouble, you can contact Bitdefender support for help. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or fix the issue for you.
