Title: AvastSvc.exe constant CPU usage despite doing nothing
Post by: Evjls on April 11, 2018, 10:57:48 PM
Hi, please someone report this problem for me

I'm currently using avast free although I do have an active license for the Internet security version

I just reinstalled my Windows and cleanly installed Avast and immediately performed a repair

I was watching football livestream via acestream. I noticed a constant CPU usage ranging from 0.3% to 1% of total CPU usage. I disabled all shields in settings but the CPU didn't drop to 0%

I stopped watching the livestream and my total CPU usage 0% but AvastSvc.exe was still using 0.3-1% of CPU where it was supposed to be 0%
I can't create a dump file of AvastSvc.exe although I tried to disable the self-defense

this is the screenshot while I was watching football and disabled all shields

I PERFORMED A REPAIR AND IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM!!!

this is the screenshot when everything was in idle. Disabling all the shields didn't not change the result
