Title: Windows 10 Start Menu
Post by: REDACTED on March 04, 2016, 05:02:25 PM
Avast is not allowing the windows start menu to open.  Each time I want to access a program, I must repair avast and/or restart my computer.  I have explored tje fix for this and everywhere it states that it is an avast problem.  Is there something I should change in my settings or exclusions or can you fix this?  Can't go back to Windows 8 now so only choice is to choose another anti virus program unless you can help.  Thanks!

What you need to do is reboot your system to Safe Mode with Networking once done,
Restart the system back to regular mode and your problem should be gone.
It's a well known Windows 10 problem that effects many computers.
