When we uncheck the “reboot PC in ??? mode” in Geek:Area, does it turn the boot scan back to how it was a couple months ago, or is it different ?
It is purely talking about running the Boot Time scan in the Windows Recovery environment, so it should revert to the old style boot time scan.
There are other posts/topics that confirm this reverts to the original method.
That is why a restart is required to change these internal avast settings.
