I have never had it happen before, but some do report this happening for a few seconds, how long does it last for ?

What is your operating system ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

A lot depends on when avast gets started as one of the system processes that it requires might not be loaded yet.

You could delay avast on boot, Program Settings, Troubleshooting, Delay loading of avast! services after other system services and see if that makes a difference.

I've seen this happen on several Win XP systems, As David said, It all depends on when Avast gets to start.

Hi...

I agree with Marc and David. I've seen this happen on XP systems as well. :)

Best Regards...
