« on: January 28, 2021, 04:44:03 PM »
the AVAST engine server is maxing out the CPU to 100%

2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions..!!)
3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
4. Reboot.

Sometimes reinstalling or repairing really does help solve the issue.
