Bitdefender not saving scan schedule
For weeks now, I have been trying to schedule a Full System Scan for Wednesday lunchtime. I edit the schedule and it appears to save it, but then doesn't run and, on investigating, the schedule is no longer there. I'm sure that I am doing it right in the first place - see attached screenshot.
I had this problem with Quick Scan at startup, but that seems to have resolved itself.
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

Hello @CaptainPugwash and welcome to the Community!
Try to reinstall Bitdefender, it should fix this. You can find detailed steps on how to do this by accessing the article below:
Let me know if this solves the issue. In the event scheduled scanning is still not performing as expected, we'll have a closer look.
Stay safe!

I have performed this several times and still the Full System Scan schedule does not save. Do you have any other suggestions?

I reinstalled as suggested and it appeared to work initially but was not there when I rebooted. That may be part of the problem.
Unfortunately I am temporarily away my desktop, so will check it out as soon as able.

@CaptainPugwash I am intrigued by this, as for some users re-installing fixed the issue, but it seems the outcome varies.
I am looking forward for the resolution.

I too have the same problem, I schedule a System Scan, or, Quick Scan, it appears to save it, but not permanently.
When I reboot, the schedule is no longer there.
I have found that if the schedule is set as "At System Startup", it does save it even after rebooting.
However, setting a daily or weekly schedule does not work.

This is a known issue and a fix has already been deployed by the engineers via an automated update.

After renewing my Bitdefender Anti Virus subscription last month the scheduled scans no longer work. I currently have the latest release (26.0.10.45) which was supposed to address this issue, mine still does not work.
Thanks
