Please note, beta testing isn't meant for everyone. The user is having a problem updating to the current latest regular release. Thanks.

@pbriscall
When you uninstall ASB, did you use the removal tool?

Hello,

I am having the exact same issue. I was on Version 87 earlier today, but it was lagging and on some websites when trying to log on, it kept coming up on the websites as technical errors. (When I went to the regular Chrome Browser, it let me log on.)

Anyway, I used the Avast Secure Browser Uninstall Tool to uninstall the Avast Secure Browser and then I reinstalled it, but now I am getting version Version 86.1.6938.199 (Official Build) (64-bit). I go to settings and about to check the version and it says its up to date, with Version Version 86.1.6938.199 (Official Build) (64-bit).

How can I get version 87 which I had just earlier today before uninstalling?
