Guys, read reply #28 from jaroslav.nix and follow his steps, that will help Avast guys to solve the issue.

One month passed, a new version (20.4) was released, and the problem has not yet been resolved. Now, due to the Avast, the shutdown time of my computer is five minutes. Amazing!

You mean it's with the beta version?
That would mean that avast was able to find out what was wrong with the last two official releases.
It would be good because this concern was beginning to gain weight for more and more users, again a new one today on the French section.
The procedure given by jaroslav.nix for transmitting the information discourages users .

Yes, the beta version

I was given this link by Asyn and told to read and post here.

I have installed the latest beta version 20.5.2412 and the issue is still occurring.

This happens every single shutdown.

If this issue can't be resolved then my only option to resolve it is to uninstall Avast.

Problem definitely not solved for me, but I haven't tried the beta version. In general, I tend to shy away from beta versions of software due to their potential for greater instability. That said, it doesn't look like the beta version fixed the issue for everyone anyway.

As for AvastSvc.log, where do I upload it? I can't attach it here because this board doesn't allow attachments that large. Is there somewhere specific I need to upload it to or could I just use Google Drive or Dropbox? Also, I know you guys asked for AvastSvc.log, but do you also want AvastSvc.log.old as well?

You can upload it here: ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming/
Pick a unique name (and post it here), so the devs can find it. Thanks

Hi, Where can I download Avast version 20.5.2411 build 20.5.5366.561 from? Couldn't find any link at all.

Thanks for the response.

But this Online installer installs the latest version, i.e, 20.5.2412 , NOT the 20.5.2411.

Still same problem! Getting painful.

Can you please either give me the link to an Offline installer or some Stable version of free Avast that doesn't have shutdown issue.

That is the latest Beta version 20.5.2412, the link you clicked doesn't specify the version and is just the on-line installer (that downloads the latest beta version link).  There is no off-line installation posted for the beta builds.
