So you need to get that Silent Update setting changed very quickly after it installs and verifies your license.įrom that point on, when it wants to update you will see the dialog box that Scott screenshots and uncheck the feature update - IMPORTANT - just check the virus definition update and leave the feature update box unchecked, then click OK. This may not be necessary but I will tell you that it will update very quickly after the installation, within minutes or even less. So I blocked wifi, then removed the ethernet cable immediately after it validates. Mine uses an access control list so I can block wifi but allow ethernet. I can block PCs in the router I have but yours may not allow this.
I'd also see if you can block internet access as soon as it finishes installation and validates your subscription.
What it may be today, an hour from now, etc I cannot say! So the sooner you do this the better IMO or you may get tagged with installing the problematic 26.0.25.84. I'm a user just like you and also was at the point of considering canceling BD for 5 PC's (which had just renewed 3 days ago!) and looking at alternatives.īut do an uninstall and reinstall one more time :) The installation file from yesterday that I got off their website was still giving version 26.0.23.80. We users can't undo updates, so we're stuck with underperforming PCs, or flat uninstalling it and just rely on MS Defender for awhile. Either rollback the update (AV engine or other components) at least temporarily until you have a fix. Do some of us need to start looking at other antivirus/security programs? And went to Bitdefender which has been until now, pretty good performance, very happy with it. I dumped Norton from 5 PC's for bugs that the company never fixed going back to 2014. You even linked to it earlier in the other thread. 100% scanning of all drives has been reported to you folks going back to 2020 from posts here. It's either flawed or is scanning drives 100% of the time for some reason. The evidence is mounting and is clear that when the program works OK before the update and cpu goes nuts after the update, the update is at fault, whether it's Win 10 or Win11. I spent about 1.5 hrs this AM doing this. I was asked by Andrei in Engr Support to use performance recorder and record all processes and activities, also create bdservicehost dump file, new support ticket records and upload them to Bitdefender. With all due respect Alex B, you folks already have increasing evidence of that the high CPU usage issue, from me and others is due to the update to build 26.0.25.84.
