[QUOTE="kC77, post: 956073, member: 92796"] againts my better judgement on a laptop i tested out Bitdefender last week and a similar thing happened to me.... bit defender found some "vulnerability" which it removed.... but then windows firewall wouldn't start, so I went to quarantine and it couldn't restore the item it removed first thing i tried was dism/sfc etc... easiest fix is remove the trash BD/KAV products.... grab the latest iso/install media (in my case 21h1) and run an install from windows, keeping your settings next step once completed run disk cleanup to remove the old install (to free up space) next download windows defender configurator, set to high mode.... and forget all about kav and BD products [/QUOTE]
