WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe blocked

As my firewall alert mode has been turned off I am not seeing lots of panels and some programs are getting blocked that look like they should be allowed. I did not block access.

@technomad ,

There is a bug with Alert mode turning itself off when going full screen, but I have not seen a report of this type of warning from BD.

I recommend contacting Support.

https://bitdefender.com/consumer/support/

Chat is the fastest way to reach them. Telephone support is not toll-free, and you have an email option.

Please post back any solutions so that others may learn. Thank you, and have a great day.

As soon as I login to my laptop in the morning I open Bitdefender and check alert mode and leave the panel open and keep turning it on throughout the day. What I am pointing out is that when it has turned itself off it is blocking a variety of well known programs and the image was just one example. So I am periodcally checking the notifications at the same time as turning on alert mode.

As you know, there is a bug reported about Alert mode turning itself off actively under investigation. The issue you report could be related to you trying to keep Alert mode on. Only Bitdefender Customer Support can advise you authoritatively. I really think you should contact them.

Have a great day.

Yes, the fix is still in the pipeline and I'm trying to get an update on the release date. I will come back as soon as I have news.

Thanks

This is still happening and yesterday when I allowed a program that had been blocked I wanted to check later which program it was.

When the alert panel is working I see which programs I have allowed access to in info?

Is this in a log somwhere? All events, so all the applications that were blocked by the rules (alert mode off) and then allowed by the user.
