The same issue appeared by me (shortly after updating to Nitro) (restarting all services of Avast do not help, system restart neither); the problematic service called by: Avast! System (32bit) Avast Service ! Now I am running a full system scan, maybe it will resolve this.
System: Thinkpad X230 Windows 10 pro Build:10586.494 Avast: 12.2.2276 Build: 12.2.3126.2

Hello Asyn,
A way you still give the same no effect to resource , current resource pc the higher.
step by step I had done:
1.uninstall avast premier use ccleaner (Make sure avast leave no trail in pc)
2.Back Install Avast Premier, and insert licence.
3.Finish.

After finish I  return check the process of being walk in pc, he was the same.

I found myself minidump.
