TheBitdefender auto update setting may keep going offand interfere with the download of the product files so if this is the case, see our article on how to stop this anomaly.
2. Turn off the Windows Defender real-time protection

Turning off real time protection will resolve the conflict and allow seamless installation. Just remember to turn it on again as soon as the download process is complete to maintain your system’s security.
3. Unblock Bitdefender installer
