Windows reinstallation - Can't install Total Security

I have just rage-quit and reinstalled 24H2 because the desktop picture kept changing (long story)

Now, Bitdefender Central says that my computer is protected, and was even able to 'perform update successfully' except that no Bitdefender product is even installed.

Of course, because Bitdefender Central thinks it's installed, I am unable to download the actual application that 100% is not installed. My system is currently not safe.

Does anyone know what might be happening?
