Avast Business Antivirus 19 and Windows 2016 Essentials

I have recently updated the Avast Business Antivirus to version 19.3.2554. Since the update, I have experienced problems accessing the Shared Folders from Windows 10 PCs. They cannot see the server and when it can, I have to keep entering the access credentials after each reboot. I have just tried suspending the Avast Shields and the issue is fully resolved.
