Hey guys, I have a magic issue
I reinstalled Windows and installed Avast Free. Then I realized that Windows named hard drives with new letters so I changed them. Avast was installed to F:/ drive and there is no more F:/ drive. The issue is that Avast remembers F drive. Here is the sample from the Registry Editor (I can’t change it because of permissions)

The issue is if I leave my PC for 8-10 minutes without activity, Avast Services tries to do something in the background. After that the PC just reboots.
In the Event Viewer, I see a couple of Avast critical errors:

What have I tried:
- delete all Avast files manually → access denied (but some files were removed, won’t help)
- delete all Avast files in Safe mode → access denied
- disable Avast services → access denied
- install Avast again via the official installer → infinity installation Avast popup
- uninstall Avast via the official uninstaller → infinity uninstallation Avast popup
- uninstall Avast via 3rd party software → no file(s) found
- make myself an owner of Avast directories and repeat 1) and 2) → access denied, can’t even change the owner
Please, any ideas? I need to open YouTube videos to keep my PC running so Avast Services can’t reboot it xD
