what do you mean nothing happens ? you mean there is no scan result ?

I think default setting is to only show result if infected....
i am not at my avast comp now so cant test

Hi tylrgamster14 and Welcome to the forum!

You mean there is no scan result after scanning a file via the right click context menu?

I have tested with myself and I can't see this problem happening here.(See attached picture)

In Avast Settings | Basic Settings under Behavior section I have checkmarked "Automatically open the Scan Results when scan is finished". I get the same window that yodaosan gets after scanning selected files in Windows Explorer.

The window is opening by default, no need to check something.
