Title: Avast Free Antivirus UI no longer shows up no matter what I do
Post by: ThatRandomTechGuy96 on March 19, 2020, 04:20:16 PM

Hello, I have a problem with Avast where no matter what I do (clicking on icon, r.clicking and clicking "Open Avast User Interface", clicking "About Avast", etc.) and when I try to scan a file with Avast, it does nothing, I think it may be a corrupt installation, but I don't know. Is there any chance that someone has had this problem before and can confirm my theory about my Avast installation being corrupt? Thanks in advance!

@  ThatRandomTechGuy96
I think that you should make clear exactly what avast version and build number you are using ?
Given your post in the End of support for Windows XP/Vista topic.

r@avast - tried the "repair Avast" solution...didn't work.  The only thing that works is a clean install. Unfortunately, I can't keep doing clean installs every day.
