Avast getting red X.
« on: April 05, 2019, 01:41:20 AM »
Hey guys, I noticed yesterday and today my Avast Premiere gets red X.  Dont know why its happening.  I rebooted this morning on seeing this.  It started up fine then the Red X appeared again.

I try to click on it and right click on taskbar, nothing happens.  Its like frozen.   Its still running in the task manager.

...any ideas?    Thanks..

Have you Performed a Repair of your Avast installation?
Go to Menu/Settings/Troubleshooting/ Repair APP

If you're not able to open the main program interface, then go to Programs and Features and choose Change/Repair from there.

If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
If your Avast settings are not the default settings and you want them restored after the Clean Install, follow this before removing Avast.
