hello,
i have often the avast icon (free version) that become disabled (red cross) when i want to open the main window it displays "ui failed to load".
i have searched on internet a lot of time for this issue. many people have/had it.
- some fixes were to enable the "remote desktop" windows service.
the 1st time the problem happened i have activated this service and indeed avast has enabled.
- some days later, the problem reappeared but this time the remot desktop service was already enabled. so it was impossible to reactive avast with this way.
the other solution i read in the forums was to "repair" or "update" avast but this doesn't work for me
- the last fix i have read is to uninstall and reinstall avast.
i have done it, avast has indeed worked again... but only few days, because today morning the problem reappeared...
what can i do else? i cant uninstall/reinstall one time a week, it takes too much time.
is it possible that an avast member team can help me please?
thanks
ps: i use windows 7 pro 64 bits and i have zone alarm firewall.
update: when i right-clic on the avast icon and choose the option update, a window appears, in this window when i clic the "update" button i have a message from avast that the rpc server is not available.
maybe it could help for the diagnostic

I'm also having this issue. I noticed it happened after I updated my Windows 10 to the 1803 April update.

Get rid of ZA and try again.

ZA is not an antivirus (it's a firewall), the article you show me is to uninstall other antiviruses.

Meanwhile, ZA is both, that's why it's listed in the FAQ article.

no i have not the antivirus module of zone alarm. this is for zone alarm premium offers and i have not this.
at any rate when i open the main windows of zone alarm it is written "antivirus is available but not installed".
here is the picture (http://www.securitysofts.com/wp-content/uploads/thumbs/softwares/zonealarm-free-firewall-2016-main-window.jpg)

Anyway, I'd suggest to get rid of ZA, the W7 FW is sufficient.
-
it is not the subject of my topic but anyway i answer for this. i dont use w7 firewall because i don't have the requests for connections programs. it's not at all as convenient as zone alarm.
the firewall doesnt interfer with the antivirus i dont think we have to focus on this.
and i am not the only person who have this problem, sadly the problem is elsewhere.
-
Well, the final decision is yours, I'm not here to convince you. Good luck.
-
yep i didn't come for a replacement program of zonelabs products but for asking help for avast product.
i wish i'm on the correct location ^^

I too... and this started with the 1803 April Update.

Yes mines down as well after the April update from MS.
Avast please help.

@ calliefgrace , Sotomonte , Happychappy
avoid the "same for me" on topics where the causes doesn't seem the same
ahahah issue here is on windows 7 pro 64 bits , yours is about the last update 1803 on W10.
There is obviously a problem with this update which concerns a lot of users and a more appropriate subject
