I had a heck of a time staying in a StreanYard meeting
It happened after the update to the current beta.
I finally changed to a different computer.
Have no clue if this is related to the update or not.
Here's the information on the support file I sent in:

Since I never received a reply, I took matters into my own hands.
Since I had no problems prior to this last version (update) of Avast,
and the problem seemed to start right after the update, and since there weren't
any signs of any other problems, I totally removed Avast Free from the affected computer.
Problem Solved
The computer also became more responsive. Shutdown function became quicker and so did the reboot.
The online sluggishness has vanished.
Currently that computer is protected by Microsoft's defender and it working well.
Time for Avast to step up, fix some things so that I can be persuaded to re-install Avast.

I guess if you remove all of the elements in Avast that isn't in Defender, I guess it would be faster also.

David it wasn't speed it was the inability to be online for the meeting.
I only realized speed and other improvements once I removed Avast.
I don't want to be without Avast, I feel naked but, I want Avast to address the problems so I can re-install it.

Of course you will notice speed improvements as the two programs aren't based on the same protection levels/components.

Bob, can you please install Avast back and let us know, if disabling of any component helps? Thank you.

Karel,
I turned off components first, I actually disabled all shields but still had the problem which was the reason for removing Avast.

Bob,
we see you are using Windows 11 Canary Channel which could be also the reason of this issue (I mean combination of new W11 build and Avast).
Can you please confirm whether you disabled "core shields" only or ALL shields e.g. from Tray menu? Can you please also try to disable "AMSI protection":
- open Avast settings
- use search and search for geek:area to access hidden options
- search again for AMSI and disable it please



Please let us know if anything helped or not.
Thank you.

Sorry but at the moment, I don't have the time to do all of that.
Hopefully you'll discover and correct the problem on you end.
Please let me know when that happens.

No problem, we are going to prepare the environment on our side and try to replicate the issue.

Thanks. Hope it turns up something so I can put Avast back.
