When my laptop is in sleep mode, no streaming updates nor VPS updates occur. Even if you were using your computer, Avast only checks every 4 hours by default. If the previous automatic check had occurred just before the 9:41:02am release of the VPS, then the next check would not have yet occurred when you manually updated. There is no way to tell if automatic updates are working if you are manually updating before the automatic check would normally occur.

The Avast Repair you did may well have worked. You just haven’t given it time to see.
