So I'm not sure what's happened here but ever since the upgrade to 21.9, I've noticed randomly on some of the installs that when the PC starts up, Kaspersky decides to open - almost as if you've double clicked the icon in the system tray.

Not sure what causes this, or why it's happening , but it is, and it's random. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

Tried a restore settings to default, but that didn't do anything, so I've uninstalled and reinstalled, so will see if that cures it.

Seems to be a known issue for some people too - How to stop interface opening when computer starts?

Anyone here experienced this at all?

I have Kaspersky Free on 4 PCs at home and none of them has this behavior. All are on v21.9.6.465.
Me too. No problem so far:

Hmm. Not sure what's caused it, it's not all the time and only seems to happen on certain machines.

I'll see if the clean install I did changes the behaviour, I'm wondering if it's down to something I've disabled or unchecked (promotional notifications and all that rubbish!)

I'm on standard. Not that the version would matter I don't think

OFF TOPIC: I have left only 100 days of my Kaspersky Plus. If I get this will it extend my subscription? Thank you.

I believe it will (I believe) IF you add it to your “my Kaspersky” account. I would add the key separately, and start using it in 100 days. Clock doesn’t tick if it’s unused in your account. ✌️

(Great price, by the way)
