Silent Mode turns itself off every boot

[FPE]

I am using Avast for years on my current computer, always in Silent Mode.

Since about 1 week ago, Silent Mode started to disable itself every time I boot my computer (I have to re-enable it and then it stays active until I stop the computer).

Is there an issue on my end or it this a bug in the latest Avast version?

• Software version: 24.4.6112 (v24.4.9067.762)

Same here.  Have always been able to set to silent mode and remain on silent mode even after a restart/reboot.

Confirmation in this post.

Hi again, this problem should now be resolved in new micro update 835. Silent Mode will remain selected after reboot.

Just tested with patch 835 :

Problem is still there for me...

Wait, did you need to do an actual reboot for it to work? Does a power down / power up not count as one?

I just did a proper reboot due to a Windows update yesterday and now it appears to work as intended...

After a program update it is best to do a system restart for changes to be applied/become effective.

Ordinarily you would get a notice to restart.
