I have set the avast! service to load up after other system services and I have disabled any automatic updates, but these changes still have not made a difference to the boot time.
It took 12 minutes and 27 seconds for my laptop to boot on this occasion.
I have attached an image of the ‘Overview and Summary’ from the Windows Event Viewer.
I have also attached an image of the ‘avast! GUI’ beside the ‘Action Center’ - depicting a contradiction between programs.
Kind regards,
