But having set up automatic updating, shouldn’t it do everything automatically? I mean, I expected it would update itself, without my intervention.
Also because if I didn’t know and I would not have gone into the settings, there is no info on this new update available on the main screen.
I am still unable to download offline installer trough Chrome (latest stable version) until I enable “Insecure content” under Site settings. For online installer I dont need enable this. Now is offline installer offered trough https too but something is still wrong.
This release breaks my Novastor Backup Image mounting.
I’ve been using Novastor’s Backup products since the 90’s. For some time they’ve had a disk/sector imaging backup capability. Part of the function is being able to mount a volume of a image backup as a lettered drive in Windows. Version 19.5 is certified for Windows 10 which is what I am currently using.
After updating to Avast 20.8 when I mount an image as a drive I can click on that drive in file explorer and explorer opens to show the files and folder in the root of the virtual drive. However if I click on a folder instead of opening I get the mouse wait cursor and the progress bar on the path window. The progress bar gets progressively slower and never reaches the end. I left it once for two hours and it never completed and opened the folder. Disabling all the shields had no effect. Access through a command line with DIR, COPY, and XCOPY hangs up also.
Doing a system restore which puts me back to Avast 20.6.2420 returns normal function. When I mount an image volume as a virtual drive clicking on folders opens without hesitation and I can copy files normally.
Novastor uses “O & O DiskImage Virtual Devices” and a service.
Problem can be recreated by updating Avast to v20.8. Updates on manual because of problems like this.
Window 10 Pro x64 2004 release with current updates.
Still no solution to the problem with reboot when trying to use the option Análisis durante el arranque. Two days ago a virus entered my PC and when I tried that option didn´t work. I thought the virus had infected Avast, but later I read at the blog that it was a problem at Avast and it would be solved in the next version. It is still there…
