Good evening, when will the next update take place so I can re-install Avast?

Hi
As i´m using a web based E-mail hotmail ,yahoo it says in the avast help section that the e-mail sheild in such a case can be turned of so I did that. But after that a varning says i´m not fully protected. This is confusing me, wouldnt it be better if the program accepts this and did not show a warning in this case. Afterall I had to acknowledge this change and make a restart. And if some other issue shows up then give me a warning. As the warning that shows don´t tell me what the problem is.

You don't need to re-install just update unless you've removed it.

WIN10 64 bit fully updated - Blue Screen "WHEA uncorrectable error"
After update to latest version. I had to go back to restore point.
Reinstall gives same problem.
Using Avast for many years, this is the first time it has caused serious problems.

Are you using the online or off line installer ?

How to install:
1. Update from your existing Avast version via Settings -> Update -> Update program

After clicking on settings there is no Update section anywhere to be found.
Where exactly is it?
I even clicked on show advanced settings and still no Update section.

Why not try, right click on the avast tray icon and select Update.

Thanks. I was trying to update the Safe Zone Browser not Avast. I see my mistake now. I went ahead and updated Avast which I assume just comes with the new browser.
Do you guys ever just update SafeZone and if so how do you click to update it?

Vista 32 - Comodo 10 Firewall - Firefox 51.0.1 32bit - Win def and fw disabled

Uninstalled in safe mode using Avast clean tool.

Avast free clean installed (online installer):

 1 - i can not import configuration of the same Avast free version (17.1.2286 previusly installed and uninstalled)

 2 - quick scan (i did not test full scan) 
    a. while scannig, if you close the main window and then click detail on the little scanning window at the bottom, the re-called main scanning windows do not refresc correctly.
 
    b. If quick scan is completed while in little windows (right bottom), click detail, click any spot of main scan window and scan will start again.

    c. No sound when scan completed
 
 3 - Smart scan restart when you click detail
