Avast Service high CPU usage (60%) since Win10 1709 update
« on: November 18, 2017, 07:13:18 PM »
Hi,
Yesterday I've updated my Win 10 with the latest update (1709 Fall Creators Update).
Since the update my computer is sluggish because the Avast Service process is around 60%.
I've tried disabling all shields - but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Ron

Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed

If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:
