Yes issue showed it self right after the update.
Avast somehow manages to mess up Clean up every once in a while. A couple of updates ago, it got stuck at optimizing registiry. Now it gets stuck in the previous step.

Cleanup premium doesn't work anymore, it's stuck in the "we're doing our magic" part, it takes hours but it doesn't finish the cleanup operation...since I activated the Cleanup premium back in january, it has always worked fine, but now it's been days and I'm starting losing my patience  >:( .... the only thing that comes to mind it's an avast automatic update a couple of days ago, but I don't think it could be responsible for the Cleanup malfunction...any advice?  Thanks.

I have same problem!
I'm searching  solution but not now!

I am experiencing the same problem.  Suddenly Premium Cleanup has started hanging or looping during the "Hold on while we work or magic" cycle in Stage 1

I called their Tech Support and was totally gobsmacked by their response!  After "analysing" my computer, they said that the problem was in my PC, not the Avast software, BUT for 79.99 or 89.99  or 189.99 for the year they could fix it for me.

I feel so betrayed!  They are holding my program ransom!  This is blackmail!  I asked for a refund for the product I purchased since it won't work and they refused because I had it more than 30 days.

These tactics are disgraceful!

What you called was not avast but a third party that only handles certain things for avast.
They don't deal with financial issues as you can clearly read on the avast website.

Cleanup Premium has been stuck at step 1 for days. Contacted Avast. No response
 Have been using Avast for years. Very sad and losing my religion.

Hi, this issue is now fixed and the fix is now being distributed. No action needed on your side, it will just start working.

My Windows 10 laptop hangs in the first third of the Cleanup Premium procedure. There is no error message and no indication that anything is wrong. If this is a procedure that we should expect to take hours, Avast needs to include an alert making this clear.

This is clearly a recurring problem. There were threads on the same issue months ago.

Couple with the recent Avast security breach. this raises obvious questions about Avast's competence and/or commitment to performance and security.

Everything about Avast's performance to date suggests to me that it's time to cut bait and find a better security and performance tool.

Docter, there was no recent security breach at avast.
Last one was many years ago!

CCleaner was compromised before avast bought Piriform.
