Avast 20.1.2397 breaks WSL on Windows 10
« on: February 26, 2020, 08:27:52 PM »
After updating to Avast 20.1.2397 build 20.1.5069.537 with definitions 200225-0, WSL causes CPU to spike and will not open. Worked fine before recent program update. Works fine if I disable Avast.

I have just quickly tried on my work desktop machine with win10 and WSL works just fine. Could you please try to run xperf on your computer and provide us the output logs. The procedure how to run the xperf is available e.g. on:

Works fine for me. WSL type 1 or type 2? What is your windows 10 OS build?

Thank you for uploading xperf logs. We have identified the issue and it should be fixed in the latest version of Avast Antivirus with the latest version of virus database. Could you please retest with latest VPS version 200330-00? Thank you for your help.
