Windows 8.1.1 and Bitdefender Total Security 2014

o.k. long story short before installing 8.1.1 in my real environment i tested it out extensively in vm. i found out that if you get past a certain point with the windows updates bitdefender will not install, if you install bd prior to a certain point it installs and works great even after you do the rest of the windows updates. anyone have any suggestion on getting it installed and working correctly in a fully updated 8.1.1? i have eset smart security in, but i'd rather have my bitdefender. thanks
