Title: Every time after I update, these customize settings changed
Post by: REDACTED on August 21, 2017, 05:49:24 PM
Forgive my Poor English
I change some options (like CyeberCapture, or  the actions option under componets) to "ask" or "allow me to decide"

like this

Export the settings and import them after updating.

From your image, you don't appear to have the action settings at the defaults.

Generally after Ask, would come No Action, logically Ask waits for user input so there wouldn't be a bypass to the next action whatever you choose.

sure, it's not defults, I have changed it again after update. I upload this image because I want to show what I'm talking about, in case my description isn't clear enough

As an avast user like yourself I can only think that because of these choices Ask, Ask, Ask, that they are being set back to the defaults. 

My settings have always remained the same after a program update, be that if I update from the UI or if in install the full program update over the top of the existing installation.  But as Eddy suggests, I export my existing settings as a precaution.
