Avast 17.6. 2310 Offline Installer issue

[Patrick2]

NEW PC

Windows 10 Pro 64bit, 1703 15063.608
Avast Offline Installer issue

It installs fine, restart after install, and results in PC unable to boot, managed to get startup recovery to work, and fixed it, and then seems to run fine after that, but wondering what the cause is, and if there is anything I can do to fix it?   Just worried after a Windows Update it may not boot again, so far working fine though


Previous antivirus was Windows 10 Defender

System was clean installed onto my SSD

chkdsk ran, all good
sfc scan now ran--all good
dism online cleanup image/restore health ran, all good

Thanks in advance, look forward on guidance on this matter

Any trial versions of another Av installed

No other trial versions installed,  Just had Windows Defender that comes standard with Windows 10 Home and Pro Editions,  just thought i'd report this issue, I used the offline installer that morning, finished the install, rebooted, and then got stuck at boot screen,  startup recovery finally got access to, and ran startup repair and working fine now it appears. 

Was a Complete fresh install of 10, after imaging the original install with Macrium Reflect, prefer clean installs on new systems, as then it's completely clean and no time spent removing bloatware


Did notice I missed some steps in successfully installing it, perhaps will try again with it, as minor issues still remain here and there, but otherwise its working fine so far lol, Thank you so much for the reply

Always happy to help. Please report back after you've finished the clean install.
Hopefully that will resolve any remaining issues.

Problem Solved after successful clean install of Avast, No Noticeable issues anymore now, system is running nice and fast

Thanks so much

Especially with W10, install all updates before installing anything else.
They are very well known to break things that are installed already.

Yeah I may have missed a step during original install, not really sure, but all is running fine now, and now just keeps all up to date, and hopefully no issues with Fall Creators update, but got my system image done, and think things should be fine now
