Cannot change settings in any way - had to uninstall unfortunately

[SoulSauce]

I like Kaspersky, but I am unable to change anything in settings, including start on launch, because it instantly restarts.  I've read that if you disable the start on windows launch option it will not do this, but when I try to apply the settings, it simply restarts and does not keep the change.

Does anyone know if this is a part of the free version or a workaround?  I want to be able to pause Kaspersky, but I cannot find a way to disable it, temporarily or otherwise, without it restarting the PC instantly.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall hoping it would give the option to start Kaspersky on Windows start, but it instantly recognizes the license and goes back to restarting when any setting is changed.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hello @SoulSauce,

Please read: Kaspersky Free, How to pause and resume computer protection -> on Windows, Taskbar -> Hidden icons, rightclick the Kaspersky icon, select Pause protection, then follow the documentation:
