I particularly like the integrated firewall with the ability to allow or deny any application's internet connection - if 'Alert Mode' is switched on. I did this twice to be sure.īronkster, I have used Bitdefender for many years and it has been very good and cost effective for a home user with 3 computers. Operation of USB connected game controllers is unaffected and the USB ports remain powered - I can feel the WD 2TB spinners starting up when plugged in even when they don't show.Īs part of my trouble-shooting I completely uninstalled Bitdefender Internet Security. The Windows alert sounds every time a USB storage device is plugged in or unplugged. Normal behaviour is restored after a re-boot but it only works once. After showing once and then removed, no USB storage device (the one removed or any other) will show in My Computer and the taskbar symbol with 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' message on clicking is missing.

The bug is that a USB device will only show once after a system start or reboot. The behaviour did not occur prior to this update. The bug has only appeared after the automatic update from BD build 45 to 52 in the last 24 hours. Both are running Windows 10 21H2 19044.1526 with Bitdefender Internet Security, Build 26.0.12.52 as the only security software. I am running two computers, one is a custom made PC from a local shop and one is an ASUS notebook. I will describe the bug so it is in writing. The only thing that restores the normal function is to re-boot the computer and this only works once. No individual module whether off or on is affecting the behaviour.
