| Avast Free Version 19.7.2388 - Scheduled Quick scan does not run automatically |
| (1/2) > >> |
| chomowitz:
I am running Windows 10 Pro version 1903 with Avast Free Antivirus 19.7.2388. Ever since I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro, a scheduled quick scan (once a week) has not run automatically. It used to run reliably once a week as scheduled. I tried uninstalling Avast and reinstalling and the results have been the same. Any help to diagnose and repair any issues will be appreciated ... |

Is the scheduled task listed in the Task Scheduler? |
| chomowitz:
No ... The tasks that show in Avast as scheduled, do not show in the Task Scheduler. |

Last night I went in and recreated a scheduled scan in Avast Free as you suggested. I set it to run about 10 minutes after entering it. I set it to run weekly , tuesday (yesterday), quick scan. When the time came, nothing happened. I tried again and this time I used smart scan, and it worked at the scheduled time. Given that I changed the day to Weds. (today) at 9 am. At 9 am today, nothing ran. After it did not run today at 9am, I went back into Avast and set the time for 10 am ... It just ran at the 10am time. I am baffled as to what works and what does not. How can I troubleshoot or correct this? Thank you in advance for your help ... |
