Hi,
Sine last GUI update at the end of last year, I am missing very important function from previous version - Norton Software Updater.
Where to find it in latest version of Norton? I spent some time, could not find it (the newest GUI version is not the great one).

R U using Windows Administrator account?
peterweb:So my conclusion is that this feature is similar to Norton Settings. You need to be logged into an Windows Admin account to access this feature.
Yep, I always forget the obvious. Thanks
@peterweb
FWIW ~ my My Norton has Software Updater feature. I have Software Update feature off in my My Norton Settings.
I think I may see what is happening here. For daily use I use a Standard Windows user account. No sign of Software updater. I logged into my Windows Admin account and turned on Software Updater in Norton Settings and saw, and ran the feature while still in the Admin account. Without changing the settings, I logged out of the Admin account and logged into my Standard user again. Still no sign of any Software Updater feature.
So my conclusion is that this feature is similar to Norton Settings. You need to be logged into an Windows Admin account to access this feature.
Ricardo777:Where is the Context Menu?
right click Norton system tray icon = context menu
Norton 360 for Gamers system tray icon has "Open My Norton".
Does your Norton system tray icon have "Open My Norton"?
Norton desktop icon pinned to Taskbar. Rt click menu.
Note: I'm W10
Based on your pic. Look like you have Norton pinned to your Taskbar.
R U looking at Start Menu or Taskbar. My System Tray (where the clock is) is right side bottom...my setup. Maybe, you've moved your Taskbar/System Tray to the side...per your pic [here].
Norton 360 for Gamers system tray icon has "Open My Norton".
Does your Norton have "Open My Norton"?
Thanks for Contact Support details, looks like anything in the context menu.
Norton GO is the power-boost you need!
I think Norton GO is same as Norton 360 for Gamers. US/UK
I think your "More Norton" should be "My Norton".
Ricardo777:I found this, its says: Switch to the classic view is not available on Norton 360 for Gamers.

However, when I log in through the website I got the info:
You have 262 days remaining on your current subscription.
Norton Go Premium Protection for 10 devices.
So I got Norton Go Premium (10 devices) as website but my AntiVirus is Norton 360 for Gamers.
Do you have hny idea what to do? Customer service?

I think your More Norton should be My Norton.
I'm still thinking your More Norton should be My Norton.

~ as I recall @Melvin Frohike had to reinstall Norton 360 for Gamers to get "More Norton" change to "My Norton" [here]. Maybe, you need to refresh your Norton 360 for Gamers install.

Maybe, Norton 360 for Gamers default view is classic view.
@Ricardo777
Your Norton 360 for Gamers has "More Norton" [here]. I think you should see "My Norton" (see below NOTE).
Please click your "More Norton" and see if you find "Software Updater".
If not please click Settings gear (if you have a Settings gear).
Or, click Settings from Norton 360 for Gamers system tray icon. Settings from Norton 360 for Gamers system tray icon should open "My Norton" Settings. Do you find Software Updater?
Norton Software Updater documentation points to "My Norton".

I think the context menu @Frank V is talking about is the Norton system tray icon right click menu -> Open My Norton.

With all the issues reported here with this feature, it is possible that Norton has disabled it. I cannot see it in my 360 either.

as test: Software Updater on:
Where is the Context Menu? My printscreen is below.
On 4 different computers.... Software Updater is there, where it has always been.
For those who do not know --- From the Context Menu, right click Norton icon, select "Open My Norton" and it's the second entry.
