AVAST Premium Security stopped working on Windows 10 Home

On 28-Feb-2025, the orange circle icon disappeared from the systray. Secure Browser also stopped working. Successfully used Apps and Features setting to repair Premium Security followed by a restart of Windows. Secure Browser still did not work. Successfully used Apps and Features setting to repair Secure Browser. This worked but destroyed all my settings including bookmarks. Was able to import bookmarks from a previous export several months old.
