Doruletz, it was usual that Avast require some time to scan and fill the caches.
Maybe booting another time will reduce the interference.
Anyway, thanks for the dump, hope the technicians take a look on it.

Strange because I have the exact opposite findings.

I don't even know that Avast is running it's using a very small amount of system resources as you can see.
Wonder if your installations are fairly new and it just needs to settle in ???

Whilst your CPU is showing this AvastSvc.exe, is the avast tray icon rotating ?

It shouldn't be that active unless something is triggering scans.
Other than that when is this happening as at points if the NG (virtual machines) is initialising or there is an update going on.

I just wonder what this ArcSoft Connect Service is as that to gets quite high, I wonder if that could be triggering avast scans.

the avast tray icon is not rotating like when a scan es going on it behave normal

this happened after a few minutes of starting windows , i dont know about NG virtual machines but no update is going on , i disable updates to be sure

i dont know why you mentioned that Arcsoft service , is from the webcam and its not consuming any cpu at all

That is what is strange, it is almost like it has stalled and showing a previous state.

I mentioned it because of your second image - look at the highlighted entry and then its ID 4488 - then check your first image and check what ID 4488 is and you will see it as ArcSoft Connect Service.

I have the same issue g_642 and can't figure it out :/

And just to clarify my issue starts 35/10 minutes after I start up even if I do nothing to my PC (As in I don't touch it to open anything)

Cheers

Sounds like some maintenance or update service starting on a regular basis which would be scanned.
