I was using the latest version of avast premier 17.4.2294 on windows 10 home creators update
Only File shield, web shield, behavioral shield, firewall and Real Site were enabled
I was using comodo firewall and zemana antilogger for months without problems. Then, I switched to avast because I liked it. I was using 17.4.2294 a few weeks ago without problems but in the recent updates, there were some problems
- Wondershare filmora took 5 minutes to open, 0% CPU and disk usage. Tried many times, reboots, no improvement
- Couldn’t install kaspersky antiransomware
What I did later:
- Disabled all shields including behavioral shield → didn’t fix
- added exclusion of filmora folder → didn’t fix
- checked “Use nested virtualization where available” → didn’t fix
- repaired avast using control panel → didn’t fix
- Uninstalled and reinstalled using the offline exe → didn’t fix
- Clean installed → didn’t fix
What worked:
- uninstalled avast without a reboot via IObit Uninstaller → filmora took only 5 seconds to open, immediate improvement :\
- after a reboot, kaspersky antiransomware was installed successfully without any problem
conclusion: avast was definitely the culprit of all problems. Many people have reported the same issues (Overwatch, for example). Please fix it and improve the compatibility
I was using the previous version without problems but this recent version has had many problems
