Apparently it's normal though I really don't know how to explain why it's this way for some and not for others, doesn't really seem to have an explanation, for example I live in the UK and someone else from the UK is seeing the regular pop-ups from what I've gathered.  If you right click the toolbar you can ask to view the last pop up.  It shows the definition update number but no longer has the boxed link at the bottom saying "show more details" (or something along those lines).

Does anyone know if or when the mini popup problem will be solved?

Since there isn't any problem, no fix is needed.

Not sure I'd agree, I think a lot of people's minds would be put at ease if everybody had their programs running the same way, not differently.  I've had a subscription all this year with the pop-ups being as they were before for the past 10 months and now for the last two my program is different from other peoples, it makes me worry what else is different, what else isn't working the same way/properly.  I'm in the process of deciding whether to renew my subscription and I'm rather undecided yet... though I would like my avast! program is changing and fixing even if the issue is something minor.

After reading the causes ,do not think that it is a problem, but if that should be further clarified these things therefore confuse users when a day for changes if there is another apparent reason  ;)

Ok, regardless the fact that it is benign, it is a problem.

When is this going to get fixed!?!?

Don't think there is a problem here.  New popup is actually smaller than the old, and, I feel, less obtrusive than the old one was.  We're really talking about an issue that has been plaguing the forum for months, that of obtrusive pop-ups in the old versions, and this is a resulting change due to numerous complaints about that. 

Personally, I think avast! nailed this one.

As I said earlier, with 170 million + active users, not all users are going to get this update rolled out to them at the same time.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit 22H2 Avast Premier Security version 24.1.6099 (build 24.1.88821.762)  UI version 1.0.797
 UI version 1.0.788.  Windows 11 Home 23H2 - Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Avast Premier Security version 24.2.6105 (build 24.1.8918.827) UI version 1.0.801

So today after aborting a bootscan, I had an avast! glitch and some of my shields were off and the program was unresponsive to re-enabling them. I restarted, everything was fine then and I repaired my installation just in case. I got the full sized proper update notification back inadvertently!
