Earlier versions of avast did have two avastui.exe processes running, if you had more than one UI window open.

Having just reinstalled it, I just wonder if a clean reinstall also utilising the avast uninstall utility might be worth a try.

Windows 10 sometimes produces oddities. :) Last time, however accidentally I have installed for testing the Norton AntiVirus on the physical machine instead of the virtual machine and it have asked to remove Avast Free that i have enabled. Anyone can to make mistakes even if IT. :)
