Well I was required to restart again this morning, and reading the above posts between tech and voyager, it was not obvious that an Avast fix was deployed. I just did a manual program update (no updates required), and a restart prompt was not given. So, from my perspective, it does seem that 4.7.1029 is working.
If you say that 1029 is THE fix on the ISSUE, then my apologies for the doubts and confusion. Keep up the great work!
