Bitdefender not scanning removal media

When I plugin either a USB stick or insert a CD Bitdefender is not scanning it. It used to, but no longer does. I have checked the settings and they are on Autoscan. Furthermore, if I go to the mounted item in file explorer, right click and chose Scan with Bitdefender, nothing happens. Actually, doing this with any folder on any drive, again nothing happens. My scheduled daily and monthly scans do still occur.

This is very worrying! What can I do??

Weirdly this is all working as it should now. I did nothing to make this work (except to do my normal overnight shutdown and start up again this morning! If it reoccurs I will do then do the reinstall. The problem was there for at least a couple of weeks. But no longer?

As this issue reoccurred again, I did the uninstall followed by reinstall. This fixed it again, but a week or so later it reoccurred!! I have now sent the logs to the support team.
