This 6042 beta caused some earlier problems to return:

- when opening Firewall Rules, the UI hangs for several seconds. 6041 beta seems to be ok.

- when inserting external hard disk, this beta caused it to be treated as a flash drive i.e. there is no Recycle Bin when deleting files. Windows asked whether I want the file to be deleted permanently. I had to uninstall and reinstall this beta for it to work properly.

- if we want to stop a component, the pop-up question asking whether we want to stop it is in white theme. Not default or dark theme.

Other outstanding bugs:

- If I set ProtonVPN TUN Network as Trusted, it will show as Untrusted the next time the PC is restarted.

- Restoring settings does not restore the apps in Do Not Disturb mode. Sometimes an app added there disappears on PC restart esp. Photos app.

- In Geek Area, there is option to delete scan logs after x no. of days. It doesn't work.

Thanks for the new beta

ccm52 I'm trying to induce the issue with white theme, but it works fine for me. Could you please copy and pack this folder: c:\Program Files\Avast Software\Avast\gui_resources\ and send it to petr.blatny@avast.com?

+we will check the rest of reported issues too.

Thank you

You misunderstood. If I set Avast Free to Dark theme, the 'Component Stop' pop-up (when we want to disable Avast) is also dark. If set to Light theme, the pop-up is white. But if set to Default theme, the pop-up is white instead of greenish like before.

My Windows is set to Dark theme.

I can't take a screenshot of the pop-up even though I unchecked 'Hide pop-ups from screen captures' in Settings-Notifications.

In Beta 22.12.6044, nothing seems to be fixed esp. the 'Component Stop' pop-up bug mentioned above.
