Avast Down and Won't Restart after Latest Windows Update
« on: March 13, 2019, 09:47:29 PM »
My Avast won't run at all and it seems to have happened after the Windows 10 update I just installed. I've tried downloading and re-installing to no avail. I'm going to now try and uninstall and re-install and see if that works.

Tried everything, even uninstall, which won't even work. Something must have happened with that latest Windows 10 update.
