Hi. After over a year of working perfectly, my scan in-progress message box no longer responds. It won't appear at all before or during my daily scheduled scans (or even after the day scan has finished), but does pop up to alert me as expected on a same-day basis, or if I test it by running any of your pre-fab (i.e., Smart Scan), same-day scans. Also, even though the popup box never appears for my customized T-Scan -- never announces my daily scheduled scan -- the Avast Notifications window indicates without fail that I've been notified of something. I tried fixing the message box program by using the UI Fix system, but to no avail. I also tried the Repair tool available through my Windows 10 Control Panel (Avast, uninstall, Repair), but that didn't work either. Re-installing Avast (Avast clear.exe) didn't make any difference. I've set my scheduled scan to run daily at 8:28 a.m., and found that it works only if I start my laptop at 8:05 a.m. each day, which has been an inconvenient, but reliable procedure, with scan and message box both performing on time and flawlessly -- until your recent update. I've tried turning on my laptop at new times (8:08 a.m., 8:10 a.m), but the box still won't appear. I'm pleased that the scan itself works (it's, of course, my priority), but I count on the message box to keep me informed as to my scan's progress.
Any solutions? I appreciate your work, and whatever help you can provide me.
Thanks.
