Something isn't quite right with Avast and windows 10.
Firstly, let me say that I'm a fan of Avast, hence why I use it and recommend it to everyone...so i'm not here to trash Avast...but I don't think this is a Windows10 issue either.
I had 8.1 with Avast and I upgrade to 10. Everything was fine in that transition.
I had a issue another issue and ended up having to refresh my Windows10 (losing all apps, keeping files, reinstall of the OS)
that was fine...
But as soon as I install Avast (free), my computer no longer even starts! I can't do a restore, I can't do start up repair, I can't get into safe mode...Nothing!
It took me about 4 refreshes of Windows10 before I figured out that it was avast.
When I install it, it finishes, but then reports that it couldn't start a the background service.
checking the service, the Background service is there, start up type "automatic" but it's not running and cannot be started because of the dependencies fail to start.
I figure, restart the computer might work...and bammo... computer will not start up anymore. As I said, this has happened 5 times now (the fifth time was confirm for me that it was avast)
I even just now tried to install the 10.4.2233 and that wont even install
Any insight is greatly appreciated. I would really like to continue to use Avast. Everything else with windows is working perfectly fine...
