Misalignment between the present versions.

Hi,
in the application management in the control panel there is always a misalignment between the installed version and the one indicated in the application management.

Fix the bug.
Thank you. 😉

To add to this, it is also true for Windows Defender to show differences in the build number. Kindly have a look at the link provided below.

Bitdefender Agent and Bitdefender Total Security (or whatever other variation of the product is installed) are separate things, so the version difference is normal.

About the difference between Control Panel and About version: Control Panel writes the version at installation. After updates this version increases to whatever update version is at a time, while the version recorded at install time remains the same. The version can be updated in registry to reflect the updated version, but I am not sure at this time this is good practice for a number of reasons (without entering in too much details, Windows maintain a catalogue of the installed programs, gets informations and make internal signatures about them etc. so changing this information might not be 100% correct - but I might be wrong at this time and this indeed could be a recommended operation).

I will propose anwyays that after an update that changes version to align the Control Panel displayed version to the About… updated version, to eliminate this possible confusion.

Edit: I have created an issue regarding this in our system. I am not sure when this will be done (other guys are in charge of update/setup), but if there is no argument against this, it will.
