Is Avast stopping windows 10 create a boot log file?
« on: February 23, 2022, 05:45:37 PM »
I can't get Windows to generate ntbtlog.txt, the boot log file.

I have tried setting Avast to delayed and Passive mode but the log file still doesn't get created.

Anything else I can try before I uninstall Avast?

1. Enable debug logging (Menu > Settings > General > Troubleshooting > Enable debug logging) and reproduce the issue.
2. Follow instructions: https://support.avast.com/article/33/ and post the File-ID or name of the Support-File here afterwards.

OK, Thanks. Do you know if there is a way to stop Avast running at boot so I can see if I get a bootlog?

OK. One of the tests to find out why Windows won't create a boot log file is to disable any antivirus software...

I guess I will have to just uninstall it to find out? The Delay mode should have proven this though right?
