Bitdefender firewall no longer works and it keeps turning off after the latest update
Hello,
I just updated my Bitdefender to 27.0.16.87 version and it required me to restart my Windows 10 PC. After I did that, I noticed that the BD firewall toggle was off, so I turned it back on but still it didn't work. I tried to close BD and start it again, but the firewall still toggles itself off again.
I checked Windows Firewall and it was actually on instead of BD's firewall, so I turned it off to see if BD would work again this way, but nope, it wouldn't turn on at all.
I reinstalled BD, and the firewall actually worked this time, but as soon as I updated again to the latest version, the same issue occurred; the firewall no longer works in the latest version for me.
Shutting down my PC and restarting also didn't help. The issue is only resolved when I don't update to the latest version.

Hello,
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.

As of 27.08 I still have this issue, even if I turn Windows firewall off I can't turn BD firewall on.
