Ruined my computer?

[ancientevil]

I have got it installed again and it still has an enormously slow startup time. Atleast for the system tray icon. Still this is extremely problematic in that I cant use my computer until the startup tray icon appears and the program itself shows the splash screen for it. I cant access explorer, control panel, cant open anything besides chrome. Which I have uninstalled thinking it might be creating conflicts, but it shouldnt as it is not a startup program.

Start>Run (Or Windows key + R )> type "msconfig".

Go to startup and uncheck all unneeded entries for startup.

Apply them and then restart the computer.

That was the first thing I did. I am probably gonna have to reinstall windows. This same exact problem as mentioned happened when I updated to 2014.91.0.2008 which took about 5 - 10 mins to startup. Nothing but avast is enabled.

Wait...

Go to Settings>Troubleshooting>Enable avast! after other system services (may be wrong, top of my head)

Avast doesnt show up on the list of programs. It does in the program features section of the control panel. Not windows troubleshooting. I see most if not all of the other programs listed.

I meant in the Avast user interface settings...

Gotcha, it was already checked. This is truly a problem if I have to reinstall windows every time this program updates. Windows removed backup support, it used to be in windows 7, as in a complete system backup. They have something that only backs up personal files and documents. Is there a way I can revert back to 2008? As in you offering a downloadable offline installer? It is really bad that you dont offer this. Or avast 8 as it is stable and had worked on windows 8 without a fuss. 9 feels like a open beta you are forcing on us. Not good when we are paying for the license.
