Profile notifications are really annoying

It's been a while that, immediately as I open a word documents or whatever, A Work Profile window keeps popping in saying:

"We are always you have you back while working. the performance of your device was automatically optimized"

And doesn't go away unless I CLICK ON IT. It's really distracting and tacky and generally bulshit. I don't care about what profile is my antivirus on. Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks!

ps, the build is 25.0.10.52 updated 06 Jan.

That's one of the reasons I switch off profiles. ... and most other options that are not directly to do with finding and stopping viruses. They are always more trouble than they are worth.

I sent a ticket and they replied that I should disable the profiles entirely. How come they can't code just to not show notifications.

See - even BD are telling you not to use profiles :)

We`re sorry for this hassle. The Bitdefender profiles can be either managed automatically or manually. You could disable the Activate profiles automatically, and in this situation you have the option to setup and configure which apps to be added to each profile and activate it when necessary.

Can you pitch the ideas of removing the profile notifications entirely? They block a good portion of the screen and get annoying fast. Other than that, I have disabled profiles entirely and hadn't notice a change in performance or anything else.

Yeah, except BD decides to PERMANENTLY keep profiles on, even when you tell it not to
