Title: Avast Rescue Fail to create
Post by: paulbrennan on September 15, 2020, 12:59:17 AM

Hi there,

I'm new here but have read a number of postings around failing to create a rescue disk for both USB and CD (iso).
I've tried the suggestions around turning shields off, other possible programs which may interfere but to no avail.
Fails around the 24% mark.

Running version 20.7.2425 (build 20.7.5568.596)
Windows 10 (64 bit) Pro.

Any advice?

Thanks Paul.

Paul,
There is a separate forum section dedicated to Rescue Disk here:
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=6.0

It would be good if you posted there to keep information together in one place.

One simple thing to try is Repair of Avast.
From the User Interface.
Menu>Settings>Throubleshooting [Repair App]

Note the progress meter is not smooth and linear. It will stick for several seconds (maybe minutes) at certain percentages, so give it plenty of time.
