The issue has resolved itself since then.

I think the problem was the randomness of the temporary folder in the update mechanic.  It either changed or BD now accepts whatever content is created by the updater.

Either ways, with Ransomware protection activated, the updates are installing themselves, without any manual white list addition.

I suggest, for anyone still experiencing this problem, to uninstall Epic, make sure the updating process is removed, and re-install Epic's latest version.  In case the updated sticks... 

It works fine now, and has been for months, I just forgot to come back and post!

Thanks for the good work, the product is.. Epic! big_smile

Hello there,

I have been experiencing the same issue with Epic Browser update manager and Bit Defender 2017 just recently.   I also think it's the anti-ransomware, given the mechanic where a service downloads and install a software with no interaction with the user.

I guess I will also see this with Chrome soon enough.

Is there a known issue on this topic, have you contacted Bit Defender in the past?

The major problem I see with this is the randomness of the temporary path, which cannot be whitelisted because it is random.  It can be, but next time the path will be different so it's no real use.  Unless I am mistaken somewhere.

thanks.
