Free Antivirus flaw in Windows 10
« on: February 08, 2017, 03:36:41 PM »
Main screen Avast says "Some problems must be solved" but the button SOLVE ALL does not do a thing ! Pls repair this and update the program. Kind regards, Fred

For Windows 10
Right click on Start -> Programs and Features -> avast! Antivirus -> Change -> Repair

Let me know if that changed anything.

Don't forget to reboot the system after the repair.

I believe this is more frequent than many think, to just offer an avast repair as a possible solution.

I too had this "Some problems must be solved" branding in the UI, not to mention most people are reluctant to click something like Fix All (or Resolve All) without knowing what the problem is and what the Fix/Resolution might entail.

Several restarts later and I'm not seeing this "Some problems must be solved" message in the UI.
