hello,
first you have to disable your firewall momentarily and try to do manual VPS update

Ok, done that and windows says i'm protected.

What next? will it be fine now or do i need to change something so it can update in future.

Thanks for the help.

Ensure that you do not have gaming mode selected as that is a known bug that stops updates

Turn-off silent mode.

it's in the Avast settings. It is a known problem.  When silent mode is on, you cannot update the program.  A quick uncheck of silent mode will allow the update.
