After every Windows update I check the services.
After installing Windows 1903 build ...267, AvastWscReporter service was set to Manual and not running. After updating Windows to build ...356, I now see that the service is set to Automatic and running. I tried to set it back to Manual but was denied access. I disabled Avast self-defense and was still denied the ability to reset the service to Manual.
Was this a change in Avast 19.7.2388?
