but once again as soon as i open nord it blue screens.
i am now going to have to stand down from my hospital oncall work as i need a vpn.
NOT IMPRESSED AVAST
Where did you get the offline installer from for v19.1?
When you installed Avast via the offline installer, was your internet connection disabled? Avast automatically downloads the latest version if you are connected to the Internet.
You need to use the offline installer with your internet disabled and then immediately set the program update option to manual via Settings. Then you can re-enable the Internet.
On a side note, I'm using NordVPN with Avast Internet Security v19.2.2364 on Win 10 Home and haven't had any BSODs while connecting/using the VPN.
DOH! sorry im so stressed out with this and explaining to work why i cant work from home checking brain scans.
your right, i was still connected oopps.
i will try again.
this was the page i got the installer
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=224223.0i did have it unplugged from net but plugged it back in to check the vpn which then loads and connects as it always has done.
does anyone from avast think this issue could be rectified so as me and the others using various vpn's will be able to use them again while avast is running.
the issue was caused by an update so can it be rectified by a later update.
sorry for all the questions but i have a year subscription left here and over 2 years vpn subscription.
and the most important thing is i will not be able to do any more oncall for hospital until this is rectified.
EDIT:
so once again a big fat fail.
used clean tool in safe mode > deleted > unplugged from internet > used offline 19.1.2360 and loaded > went to set to ask first before updating and 19.2.2364. still loaded but with a different build of 19.2.4186.0
can anyone post to another page with 19.1.2360 please as im now pulling my hair out. thanks.
