Safepay - switch back to default desktop after a few seconds

Digit

When launching bitdefender, it switches back to the default desktop after a few seconds repeatedly. It does not crash but still runs in the background. I guess some other process takes back control. I did not identify anything suspicious in the task manager. However, I do not really have an idea what to look for. Any idea what this could be?

I'm running on Windows 11.

I think you should contact Bitdefender support from the web page below:

Select the topic that matches your problem and follow the on-screen instructions. Then click on "Contact Support" and choose the desired communication channel (chat, phone, or email). 

Prefer the cat, for a quick contact.

If you choose to contact support by email, you will need to fill out an online form. You will then receive (24 to 48 hours) an email containing an incident ticket number corresponding to your request.

Thank you @TaxiMagicien42 . I followed your suggestion and ran the repair. However, I'm still facing the same issue. Do you have any other idea?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I got quick help from the Bitdefender support people. The solution was to disable background processing for an app called Omen (HP gaming hub).
