Recently my Avast browser is opening a debug file. Why and how do I stop it? Here is a sample line from the debug:
1116/131508.489:ERROR:filesystem_win.cc(128)] GetFileAttributes C:\Users\Gary\AppData\Local\AVAST Software\Browser\User Data\Crashpad\attachments\1b3a42a4-00de-4a77-815b-9a14c28a0ce8: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)
Hi,
could you please share your diagnostic info? You can access it after entering secure://settings/diagnosticInfo in your address bar. Meanwhile I’ll report the issue to our engineers.
Thank you!

Hi,
thank you, I appreciate this. I’ll forward this information to the developers & will update the thread when there is any root cause found.
Thank you for choosing our browser.

Hi,
could you please take a screenshot when this occurs again? When this debug file is opened, does it happen after some unexpected browser close or crash?
Thanks.
Sandu
Ironically, I haven’t received any debug files since I first submitted my question and I don’t recall what preceded getting the files. If it happens again, I will take note, and respond.
Thanks.
