Avast Update Locked

When I manually click to update the database and software, the update is simply “1/3” without advancing

Repair Avast:

  1. Control Panel → Add/Remove programs → Avast
  2. Click on ‘Repair’.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Reboot.

I did this and it did not work, I also tried to reinstall the program… but nothing

  • Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
  • Which version…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

Try to change your Network DNS
Use 8.8.8.8 as preferred and 8.8.4.4 as alternative DNS
then try to update again.

Avast may not run on Windows Insider Build, as 17074 is Insider Build, and so is 17083 that was just released, not sure if it’s compatible yet with Windows 10 Redstone 4. Might have to run Windows Defender til Redstone 4 is Final unforuately
