AvastUI.exe * 32 always uses 25% of cpu's resources.
« on: April 06, 2018, 03:31:44 PM »
It has occurred since April 6.
AvastUI.exe * 32 always uses 25% of cpu's resources.
I am not running the scan.
It will not fix after reinstalling.
There are no other installed software.
Is there a solution?

This sentence is translated from Japanese to machine.
I am sorry if it is difficult to read.

Hi,
when you see 25% of cpu resource for avastui.exe process, can you please run Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), right click on this process and select "Create dump file"? Please compress this file (e.g. zip/rar or 7zip) and upload it on our ftp (https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/FTP-file-upload). Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same behaviour after updating to program version 18.3.2333. Avast is using up to 30+% CPU time while I have not "instructed" Avast to perform any actions.
I have already tried to repair my installation but that didn't help.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro including Avast Premier including an active subscription.
Any ideas?

Yes, follow pk's (an Avast Team Member) request for information when the CPU % is high.

Any news on this topic?
It is rather annoying as the fan inside my Surface Pro 3 is running at higher speed and thus making noise as a result of the increased 30+% CPU resources.

the CPU is consumed by  thread :

A Japanese user also reported this issue. I suggested to update Adobe Reader and will report back.


Edit: 4/13 23:27
In his/her case Adobe Reader seems not related. Uninstalling Adobe Reader does not solve his/her issue.


Edit2: 4/14 1:03
A Japanese user having the same issue uploaded dump files to the ftp.

Repairing Adobe Reader XI didn't have any affect.
Removing Adobe Reader XI presents an error in regards to files being in use by Avat Antivirus, see attachment.
As I can't turn Avast off at this point would I like to know how to continue.

Changed Avast to passive mode, rebooted, removed Adobe Reader XI, changed Avast to active mode and rebooted.

Now Avast Antivirus reports to use hardly any CPU resources. However, the CPU usage remains quite high and now Windows installer reports a CPU resource usage of 30%.

This behaviour started after updating Avast to program version 18.3.2333.

Any idea what is causing this strange behaviour?

Hi Non
in your case it seems that there is Datascan thread which consumes CPU. I would try to disable datascan for a while - it might help
Thank you

Hi kwiq, the OP claims there is no way to stop "Datascan" (I believe this refers to "Sensitive Data Scan") because he/she users Free version of Avast, thus no way to stop/uninstall this component.

Avastui.exe grabs close to 100% of my cpu upon booting.

I'm using Avast Free 18.3.2333 on up-to-date XP SP3.

I have zipped AvastUI Minidump.dmp and AvastUI Full Dump.dmp into the folder Dumps of avastui.zip and sent it per PK's instructions to the Avast Team FTP server, incoming directory. The upload was apparently successful.

Thanks, folks...
