First you shouldn't need to use this to start avast, it should start automatically on boot.

That is normally used in safe mode to start avast and allow you to run an on-demand scan. What was it that you were hoping to achieve by clicking this desktop icon ?

However, no matter what it was, there is a problem as it should open the Simple User Interface or Enhanced User Interface in the Pro version if you have that option selected.

Have (or did) you another AV installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?

As I said you shouldn't need to click that icon as avast is running.
So why do you click it, what is it that you are trying to do ?

How have you run on-demand scans during the year you have had avast Pro ?

Is it not rime to get a new pro license after a year ?
Check the about avast (right click on the avast 'a' icon in the tray) that will tell you when it expires, though that shouldn't have this effect even if it were out of date and you should be getting reminders to renew the license.
