I’m working on my pc today, a well-cared for Windows 7 system that has never had any issues (I’m a 12 year Linux engineer; take good care of my machines) and 10 seconds later I get a black screen and a hard reboot. Reboot was slow to complete. What’s up with today’s patch?
Have you come to the conclusion that it’s Avast’s update after going through any kind of checklist, or just because the “crash” took place when, or soon after, you saw the Update Popup?
In other words, might be a bit more information could be provided. Any logs?
