I just downloaded Windows 10. I see that the Avast Firewall is turned off, but the Avast setting will not let me turn it on. Do I need to disable something in this new download of Windows 10?
Try to repair your installation via Windows Control Panel.
If it fails, I suggest an installation from scratch:
- Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
- Download the latest avast! version and save it.
- (Optional) If you want, save your avast! settings for later restoration (Settings > Maintenance > Back up).
- Uninstall avast! from Control Panel (if possible) and reboot.
- Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1 in and follow the instructions. Reboot Windows in Safe Mode, uninstall avast! and then reboot in Normal Mode again.
- Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Register your free copy or add the license key for the paid versions. Boot.
- Check and post the results.
Please, be patient, boot when it’s said to boot…
I clicked on the “Update Avast” and that did it! Thanks!
I do have another issue now which I will post in a new thread.
Ok. Welcome to forums
Where do I go to find “Update Avast”, to try to turn on my Firewall ?
Repair Avast:
- Control Panel → Add/Remove programs → Avast
- Click on ‘Repair’.
- Follow instructions.
- Reboot.
