On my side when K Standard is installed after startup I get a notification that my K Plus license has been detected and will upgrade K Standard to K Plus.

Just installed here, the upgrade went ok, it recognized my KPremium license and activated.

After install Kaspersky 21.18 and turning on the new privacy cleaner schedule, I can no longer access the privacy cleaner wizard or turn off the schedule. Kaspersky also freezes for a couple of seconds after clicking the privacy tab.

Clean install

My upgrade went fine, but why is it taking a lot of time to upgrade, it took more than 30 minutes to upgrade on a 200Mbps fiber connection.

Weird that time for 200MB
