Looks like a fix coming soon from MICROSOFT--Insiders must remain patient with this issue.. We’re investigating an issue where devices with Bitdefender installed may experience a black screen and/or explorer.exe crashes after upgrading to builds 21313 and higher. If you are running Bitdefender, you may choose to pause…

Annndd just like that I have to warn that there seems to be an issue opening some programs on my computer. So while theres no flickering and such there are possible conflicts with programs apparently. But I can still open a browser and surf the web lol.

Yeah I have. Right now i have Advanced Threat defense enabled and the computer is working. It's only when the computer is restarted with Advanced Threat Defense that one runs into the Windows Explorer restarts and desktop flickering.BUT you can fix this by clicking Security Widget icon which opens Bitdefender-which happens…

I am not surprised Bitdefender Support took this stance. They are only obligated to support official Windows Channels, and not their beta builds. It is what it is. In my case I have disabled the Advanced threat Defense feature of the software. I also have Malwarebytes Premium installed so I'm not too worried about…

@gest , It is an unsatisfactory workaround yes, you will not have 100% the protections enabled but still better than an uninstall of Bitdefender. I certainly hope the issue is temporary, and Bitdender Support addresses the issue, but since Windows Insider Builds are affected it's unlikely that Bitdefender Support will…

Hopefully the workaround works for you. And a correction is due here. The posters name who gave this workaround is corrected here, it's BitDef123 and not Bit Def123, he posted this workaround on previous discussion in this forum. So please thank him and not me for this suggestion especially if it works for you. Thank You…

Hello BitDef123, Yes, I am on Windows Insider Build Program- Didn't have to use USB trick . Installed again and disabled Advanced Threat Defense before that oddball update notification where the Update notification popup occured..see link-that was where my troubles began, especially when I restarted machine..…

Try Bit Def123 suggestion of disabling Advanced Threat Defense in the Bitdefender settings. It has worked for me thus far. Thank you @BitDef123 . I even restarted the PC and the workaround still holds. And yes I'm in the Windows Insider Program too...
