Guys,
thanks for reporting this. We are looking into this, currently, our hypothesis is that this is a problem caused by the Windows 10 Spring 2018 update itself, as other applications based on Chromium (AvastUI being one, Slack or Spotify are other examples) and also the Chrome browser itself seem to have issues after the upgrade.

Please see here: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/04/windows_update_chrome/

Hopefully, MS will release a fix soon (May8), in the meantime we trying to come up with some workaround.

Thanks again,
Lukas.

Hello guys,
we have just released uupdate no. 353 which will update AvChrome.dll for users using Win10. It'll add "--disable-direct-composition" UI flag when AvastUI.exe process is launched (it will be present only for users using Spring Update 1803).

Whilst I haven't experienced the Avast UI Fail error - How will this be deployed ?
- micro update as part of VPS,  emergency update or manual program update, etc.
I just tried a manual Avast program update on my win10 system, Windows 10 (Spring Update) 1803 build 17134.1 with avast free 18.3.2333 (build 18.3.3860.316) and reported up to date.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Ran Avast EMupdate file, then restarted, so far none of the household PC's using Avast Free have gotten .353 so far,  Behavior Shield won't activate on Laptop Machine now, so attempting Avast clean install, and hopefully works fine after that


Video shared via Onedrive for Behavior Shield Problem


Should I do a Fresh start type reset on that system, then reinstall Avast when that finishes?  wait for a fix from Avast or what

Repair Avast:
Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed
https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204

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

Did the Repair already/restarted again,  then that didn't work, so removed it completely, and then followed clean install steps, and still does it, any other ideas welcome to hear them lol

This issue happened before, i reported it on forum i believe one other time, then it stopped doing it, well doing it again at least on that one system so far.   Can try Revo Uninstall Portable, and try a clean install again if that is advised to do, already did the standard uninstall, avast clear in safe mode,  restart, reinstall, restart, still didn't work

353 is internal number of this uupdate (its number is written in Avast's registry key). You can check if AvChrome.dll.sum file is present in your Avast program folder (it probably means uupdate was delivered on your machine). You can also run AvEmUpdate.exe manually to check for all available uupdates.

Strangely, this file was present, but the avast after the reboot also crashed with an error. Apparently have to wait for the patch from Microsoft.

In general, the same thing, it works before the first reboot, and then the eternal Avast UI Fails, we are waiting for the corrected version for the spring update of Windows ...

During Sunday we released a patch fixing this issue.

If there are other circumstances and UI still fails to load, please could you help us to fix this.

1. Make sure avastui.exe process is running
- open task manager | details | AvastUI.exe - is there avastui.exe between running processes
2. If Avast UI is running, create a dump from it
- open task manager | details | AvastUI.exe | right click AvastUI.exe| create dump file
- wait couple seconds to create a dump file
- If there is multiple instances of AvastUI.exe running, please dump each instance one by one
- zip a dump file and upload it to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming or send me a personal message

thank you
