Everytime Bitdefender updates, it quarantines a file and i cant restore it, even though its been added to exeptions previously. I just get the message "The system does not have rights to access the specified path " i am getting really tired of this and having to redownload the file i want to keep, switching off all the protections, adding it YET AGAIN to exeptions, only to have it put back into quarantine with no way of restoring it when Bitdefender updates! it ridiculous.

    Hello @archiee,

    Based on your description of the situation encountered, I would recommend contacting the Technical Support Teams, as more information might be required to troubleshoot this. The engineers may request some logs from you.

    The temporary solution I've found is to run the Bitdefender app in administrator (Bitdefender shortcut on desktop or seccenter.exe). Only then the quarantine and its file picker can select path outside C:\Users\<ThisUser>\
