My platform: Win 10 Home 64bit, ver. 22H2, build: 19045.2251
For past several times that Avast has issued a program update for Free Antivirus, the program has not updated automatically. Not sure how long this has been the case. I find out by periodically manually going to the program update portion of the menu. Sometimes, although the text on that page says "Avast free antivirus is up to date", when I press the "Check for Updates" button sometimes the program downloads and installs an update then instructs me to restart my computer to complete the installation. Why didn't it automatically install the update? I also have the antivirus definitions set for automatic update and that works properly, keeping my definitions updated.
Using Avast version: 22.11.6041 (build 22.11.7716.762), UI 1.0.741
Avast program update options setting: Radio button for "Automatically update my application" is selected. [proxy box not checked]
Avast notification options settings: All boxes checked except for "silent mode".
What am I missing?
