Im running Avast Free Antivirus v. 18.7.2354; OS: Windows 10 64Bit.
I noticed that for 2/3 days im getting Frame drops frequently.
I checked on Processexplorer whats taking all the resources and it was aswidagent.exe all the time.
How do i fix this issue?
Have you trie a “Repair” of your Avast Installation?
REPAIR and RESET Avast Installations
yes, I followed the instructions but the problem is still there.
Assuming your issue is not caused by ‘other’ conflicting Security Software installed on your system follow these instructions.
What other security software do you have installed?
You can try a Clean Install of Avast:

Windows Defender
but avast and win defender go along pretty well
The only way Avast and Windows Defender will (should) get along would be if Avast is in Passive Mode. It would be ok to run Windows Defender in real-time active mode in that case.
Why it isn’t a good idea to run multiple antivirus programs: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=211973.0
You won’t get twice the protection. If fact, you will get much less than full if you run two or more real-time antivirus programs.
Turn Windows Defender off. Reboot. (You can’t uninstall Windows Defender in Windows 10.)
You will most certainly get conflict with more than on Antivirus running on the same OS.
I know its not helping when you run multiple antivir at same time.
Windows Defender isn’t a Antivirus Program though
Yes it is, Defender in Win 10 is full Anti-virus-malware-exploit-ransomware
When you install Avast or any other 3rd party AV on Windows 10, Defender turns itself off.
indeed.
Only a few parts of Windows Defender are running. Avast took most of its job
