1. still takes 5 minutes to shutdown most times (on rare occasion does immediate shutdown)
Few questions:
- Can you please confirm it does not happen without Avast installed?
it most definitely does not happen when Avast is not installed
on very rare occasion I will get a fast shutdown on 20.8/20.9 but most times not
it might matter this is on W7 64bit but your company boasts continued support for W7
I had to roll back to 20.4 which is the last stable version I have access to, still looking for 20.5 offline installer - 20.4 works 100% perfectly, it's just not getting virus definition updates which is of course somewhat dangerous
but worse than the shutdown problem is the fact I cannot access the GUI on 20.8 and 20.9 - I can make it appear on the screen but it becomes "unclickable" (tabbing/enter won't work either, it's like it's out of phase with the desktop)
even right click on the systray icon, it will bring up the mini menu but that menu is unresponsive
you changed something with the GUI layer at some point after 20.5 that broke things
if there is a registry entry I can change that will make it use the old GUI method that would be interesting to try, I am advanced user and know how to manually edit registry (and system is well backed up/imaged)
