Title: Boot-Scan Issue
Post by: Claymore99 on September 05, 2022, 07:50:59 PM
I’ve been having issues with the Boot-Time Scan. Whenever I try to run one, either my computer starts up normally and skips over the scan, or it freezes on a blank screen with the Avast Logo in the corner.

It was not doing this before, and this all started when I had a Boot-Scan ready but also allowed a Windows 10 Update to restart my computer.

I’ve already tried using the Repair App option, and have updated the program to the newest update since this started.
