Immediately after this most recent Windows 10 update installed, I'm no longer able to use bank mode. When I click on the bank mode icon to turn it on, the window changes and it looks like bank mode is launching, but the screen stays white, and the spinning circle appears and then spins indefinitely. I can browse just fine outside of bank mode, but I'd really like to use bank mode again. Any ideas as to what happened to my system (Avast in bank mode was running just fine before the update) and how to go about fixing it? 

Thank you!  :)

I am experiencing a similar issue. Subsequent to installing the Secure Server update, I cannot open Bank Mode. When I click the highlighted Bank Mode, nothing happens.

Here is the product info:
Avast Secure Browser is up to date
Version 65.2.491.182 (Official Build) (32-bit)

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

am sorry to hear about your problems. Please can you write here some details?

- does Avast AV report "You are protected"?
- when you launch Secure Browser normally, is there AvastNM.exe process running? (If you are using Avast Passwords in the browser, you should see 2 AvastNM.exe processes)
- can you launch Bank Mode via Avast tray icon menu?

Thank you

I have been forwarded from Bank Mode will not start. Yes Avast AV reports you are protected. Don't know how to check for AvastNM.exe processes. Don't know what you mean by Avast tray icon menu. Sorry.

Hi Dave,

Please see the attached pic below for how to see AvastNM.exe processes and attach a screenshot of what you find.  The reason for asking for this is because if Avast Secure Browser is running at all, it will show in Task Manager.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit 22H2 Avast Premier Security version 24.1.6099 (build 24.1.88821.762)  UI version 1.0.797

Same problem here, no bank mode access in the ASB since the Win 10 update a week or so ago.  Additionally, Avast fails every time while attempting to check for updates via the About Avast SafeZone 4.58 page.

-Avast reports as protected.
-Avast can be started from the system tray.
-multiple Avast processes running as shown within Task Manager, including AvastNM.exe

The question asked was "Can you start Bank Mode from the system tray"
The update function in Safe Zone Browser isn't working yet.
