Firewall turning itself off after newest update?

Scoop_112

Hello, this morning I got on to see that a new Bitdefender update required me to restart my PC. I had to do the same last night but I thought nothing of it, so I did the update and restarted. But when I logged back onto my PC, my firewall option in the protection options was off. I would select it to be on, but when I would close the interface and open it up, it'd be off again.

Luckily my firewall is still on with Windows Security Center or whatever it's called, but is anyone else experiencing this? I asked this on Reddit, and a few other people have expressed the same problem.

Hello,

The fix has just been sent out. You may need to restart your device first, then try a right-click system tray icon update, and it should show the update happening incrementally, i.e. 32% 45% 78% etc, until it updates. A restart is not required.
