Avast stopped by UAC prompt in every Win 7 reboot
« on: August 01, 2015, 09:40:28 PM »
Every time I reboot my Win 7 SP1 64-bit machine, Avast Free does NOT automatically start.  Instead I get a UAC prompt, and I have to hit Allow or Yes or Don't Fuss for Avast to start and for my machine to be completely on.

How do I set what settings to let Avast start automatically (as it used to do)?

Thanks.

Do you have UAC disabled?

Sahri - my UAC is on the default normal setting.  I have had this issue only recently - was not happening before. 

How do I set something so that Avast starts up with everything else without being blocked by a UAC prompt?

Thanks.

Bump.  I would like some help with this. 

It continues - every time I reboot Win 7 Pro 64-bit, there is a UAC prompt for Avast.  Everything is stuck until I hit Yes or Allow.  This should not be - Avast should start without a UAC prompt.  How to fix?

Have you tried a repair of Avast ...  Did you install as administrator
