My Avast is using all my CPU load on my Win 10 Laptop, so I can’t work anymore. I neither can repair nor can uninstall Avast. I also cannot edit avast5.ini and I cannot stop the process via task manager. It starts from the very beginning of the startup process. In services I can see the the status ‘wird angehalten’. When I try to change the services startup in msconfig the check boxes are being checked again after I unchecked them, even if I start msconfig in administrator mode. I also can not use the power shell as administrator because I can not type any characters into the prompt.
How can I stop Avast on my PC?
Since my last answer was swallod by the forums software, here my short answer:
Avast free 18.6.2349 and I can’t start the gui to change the settings
Win 10 Home 64 bit 1803 17134.285
Windows Defender is running but no other dedicated AV-Software previously
You can.
As per Link, download Avastclear.exe to your desktop
Double click. Run the program and select ‘Yes’ to run it in Safe Mode.
When finished Reboot.
I’m a little confused, because windows asked me for a password for safe mode. But I only have my pin that doesn’t work.
[edit] OK i remembered the password. But since the last restart everything is working fine again. So thank you for your answars. I will watch if this happens again and then I already know the solution.
