Since Norton Security 25.4.10068 was applied a few days ago, April 30, 2025, Norton 360 won’t launch. It just keeps cycling like it is getting ready to open but doesn’t.

In addition, many of my applications won’t open, others crash, and Windows File Explorer stalls or won’t open most of the time, etc.

I’ve tried everything I can think of to no avail. I even tried disabling Norton’s Auto Protect and Smart Firewall but this has no effect.

This issue exists whether I’m in my preferred Google Chrome or MS Edge browser.

Has anyone else had these problem? I am running on Windows 11 desktop. Is there any way to uninstall this release? After being a loyal customer for over 10 years, I’m now considering whether to renew my Norton subscription.

Thank you for any insight that you can provide.

Prøvet at reinstall eller reparere det fikser den type fejl ca 80-90% af gangene husk at tage alle informationerne med når du gør det fordi det kan være at det er informationerne der gør det

Have you restarted your computer a couple of times since the update? Restart, not shutdown and startup again.

Peterweb,
Thank you for your response.

Yes, I tried everything, including a restart, a cold start, clearing cookies, etc., but nothing worked. Interestingly, this afternoon Norton 360 launched. I looked at the definition stats and saw where one was applied today. Apparently, that resolved the issue with 360 launching.

Also, not all apps are now freezing but I still have an issue with a few of them. Hopefully, Norton will fix this issue as well.

I have been reluctant to run the Removal and Install tool thinking it may cause additional problems. I may rethink that if this issue isn’t completely resolved within the next few days.

This afternoon Norton 360 launched. I have LiveUpdates to automatically run so I looked at the definition stats and saw where one was applied today. Apparently, that resolved the issue with 360 launching.

Tak for dit svar, Globus5000,

I eftermiddag blev Norton 360 lanceret. Jeg har liveupdates til automatisk at køre, så jeg kiggede på definitionstatistikken og så, hvor man blev anvendt i dag. Tilsyneladende løste det problemet med 360 lancering.

Ikke alle apps fryser også, men jeg har stadig et problem med et par af dem. Forhåbentlig vil Norton også løse dette problem.

Jeg har været tilbageholdende med at køre fjernelse og installationsværktøj og tro, at det kan forårsage yderligere problemer. Jeg kan overveje, at hvis dette problem ikke er helt løst inden for de næste par dage.

globus5000,
Hvis Norton ikke løser problemet om et par dage, downloader jeg, installerer og kører værktøjet og geninstallerer værktøjet. Har du et aktuelt link, som du kunne sende mig? Linket, som jeg tidligere så, henviste til definition 24, så jeg var tilbageholdende med at køre det, siden mit emne henviste til definition 25.
