According to Curtis post the issue is not fixed.. his UI is blank. I have issue with latest Avast Free 17.8.2318 build fresh install install. Avast installed after doing a clean install of Windows 10 Home 1709. Avast UI and thus AvastAV service keeps crashing unexpectedly. I have already went through suggestions on a few other posts regarding checking Remote Desktop, BITS, etc. Event log just says it terminated unexpectedly, nothing leading up to it that indicates something is killing it like a conflict. I reverted back to Avast 17.7.2314 build and zero issues, all services and features are running stable.
Only saw once while working with 17.8 build out of the 20 times or so the service crashed was an error stating "the aswbIDSAgent service did not shut down properly after receiving a preshutdown control." The two could be unrelated or expected due to other backend process but thought worth mentioning. Event XMLs below. Computer/Host name line entry removed for privacy.
