I used the mcaffee uninstall tool in safe mode, rebooted, used avast removal in safe mode rebooted, installs avast as admin - i cant even get safe mode to open just reboots and gives option again. I know it works on some (wifes laptop has it) but it refuses to interact for me and i cant determine a cause. If i wipe the drive and start over everything is fine until i install my avast -
Ill check to see if any remains of mcaffee are there but did not observe earlier in checks.
Windows 10 build 12240 latest file from avast in use
