Hello,

I'm experiencing the same conditions as reported a few months ago here.  Was a resolution to this issue ever found?

Would it really have been to much to expect you to post details as asked for ???  :(
Remember, you are the one with the problem. Since we aren't using your computer, we can't help without details.

I did point out that making a separate thread only to ask the same question I came here for would come across as malicious compliance or at the very least as sarcasm. On the off chance you know the answer, but are stubbornly refusing to answer it unless I jump through your hoops:

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Currently Avast Premier 18.4.2338, though it has been doing this same behavior for a few months (and thus earlier versions), it was only recently that I started using a process logger to find out what program kept doing it, closing other software including booting in safe mode to narrow it down to Avast, which in turn lead me here (well, not here, but to the thread in which I asked about the issue).  I have no competing anti-virus/security software running.  I've been running Avast for so long I don't remember what would be my second most recent anti-virus.

On the other hand, if the answer is "I don't know if it was resolved" or "No, this was never resolved" that's fine, but I find it odd that this dog and pony show is required before answering a simple yes/no question.

Flip flopping between posts to gather information about your system and your problem makes it harder to help.

The choice is entirely yours.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Solved it.

For the benefit of other Avast forum users: how?
