Avast repair does not work anymore on Windows 10

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

about 2 weeks ago when i updated to the new version of Avast Free(I am a long time user) it did not start on restarting. i came here, got advise how to repair it and it worked. After the latest Windows 10 update I had to repair again the same way and it worked again.
This morning I started my computer and got a message of an invalid certificate and avast did not start up :(. I restarted my computer Avast did not start and then repaired it like it had worked in the past. This time the repair does not work and Avast is not running and I can not start it manually. :frowning:

sounds like a possible bug in your install

I have remove Avast as you suggested. Now should I reinstall?

Yes, that is the point, to do a clean reinstall to remove the previous possible corrupt installation.

Ok, just want things to work out the right way this time.

I suggest an installation from scratch:

  1. Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall Utility and save it.
  2. Download the latest Avast version and save it.
  3. (Optional) If you want, save your Avast settings for later restoration (Settings > Maintenance > Back up).
  4. Uninstall Avast from Control Panel (if possible) and reboot.
  5. Run the Avast Uninstall Utility saved on 1 in and follow the instructions. Reboot Windows in Safe Mode, uninstall Avast and then reboot in Normal Mode again.
  6. Install Avast using the setup saved on 2. Register your free copy or add the license key for the paid versions. Boot.
  7. Check and post the results.

Please, be patient, boot when it’s said to boot…

Already re-installed, I will respond after I restart my computer.
