Title: UI failed to load + RPC server unavailable
Post by: REDACTED on June 30, 2017, 01:55:37 PM: Hi,
after today`s engine (application) update my Avast (all componenets, not only Free Ativirus) doesn`t work.
I get following messages:
"UI failed to load. This is really embarrasing. AV Service is not responding."
and when I try to update program, I get message "RPC server not available".

Can comebody advise & help ?

Regards
Mike

The best advice from other forum posts seemed to be uninstall and then install avast. When I started the uninstall Avast itself gave me an option to 'repair' which simply seemed to run all the bits and pieces of the update again. And on restarting the pc all is now well again with avast.

All in all a bit worrying when your av won't start and there's nothing from Avast themselves to offer any guidance.
