    I'm having the same problem. Started about two months ago. Cannot find the problem for the life of me.

    Did anyone ever come up with a solution for this crash?

    Thanks in advance.

    Technical support asked me to install the latest version that should fix the problem. However, I have the latest version. By the way: The VPN app on my notebook has now been updated and the error now occurs there too. It's a bug that seems to affect all AV Plus devices with VPN in the latest version of the BD VPN app. Most people just don't see the error because it is only filed in the reliability history. Can you please report the error also to support (@Flexx, @Alexandru_BD). Actually, support should discover it immediately when it appears in the reliability history on all devices.

    The faulty VPN version is 26.1.0.54 (everything worked fine with 26.1.0.50)

    Can others please check their reliability history and post it here. The error occurs after some time when using version 26.1.0.54. It should be available on all computers.

    One more thing here @Ux4it @Tester4321

    I suggest that you restart the device before reinstalling the VPN app, and before reinstalling make sure that there are no files left in C:\Program Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender VPN.

    It is possible that the UnifiedSDK.Service.exe remains stuck there and does not uninstall properly and it's basically an older version, even though you have the latest VPN version of the application.

    To sum it up, restart device, uninstall VPN, remove what's left of Bitdefender VPN and then reinstall it.

    Kindly let me know the result.

    Regards,

    According to your information @Alexandru_BD, I uninstalled VPN again and unfortunately it had no effect. The app produces a fatal error every time you start Windows - only shown in the reliability history.

    But that was to be expected, since the VPN app on two other computers in our house has automatically updated itself to 26.1.0.54 in the last few days. Since this version has been running, all computers have had the error in their reliability history. I think Bitdefender can reproduce the error very easily as it occurs on every machine with BD AV Plus + VPN (app autostart disabled) installed. All computers worked with 26.1.0.50 very fine.

    Each error message represents a restart of the PC … The last restart with an error entry happened after I reinstalled VPN according to your specifications.

    Today I installed the current, faulty version on a Windows 10 computer that had an old version of BD VPN (200 MB) installed. Immediately the error occurred when booting in the reliability history. The error affects Windows 11 and Windows 10 and all computers. Is Bitdefender already working on the problem? It's very easy to reproduce. You just have to install the current VPN version for the Bitdefender AV (with 200 MB VPN volume) and the error is present on all computers.

    I have a small workaround for the problem. I switched off the two VPN services in the service tab using command “msconfig”.

    I can still launch and use BD VPN, but without these two services I no longer get the crashes that you see in the reliability history.

    Since deactivating the two services, there are no longer any errors in the reliability history and my PC is starting faster. Nevertheless, I hope that Bitdefender fixes this old known error soon.
