I noticed virus definitions were not updating at all and it is stuck in update settingss mode. I tried resetting, that did not work and then I tried repairing and this did not work. Should I just uninstall using the avastclear and then re-intall?

windows 10 1803
avast 18.5.23.42

Does avast give any error messages?
Does avast say it is not updated?
Does avast recive stream updates?

error message says setup is already running s. it is not receiving streaming updates.
