Thanks for the new beta :slight_smile:

Thanks Karel, already up and running…

• Missing translations in German (Screenshot)
• No details in German splash screen (Screenshot)
• Else, the beta is running smooth - no noticeable issues (so far)
• Side note, some additional data has been sent via AvBugReport

Looks like GUI bug: if I disable Avast Firewall, Avast UI stuck on first image. Should be changed to second image immediately.

In Omni, what’s the reason for the + sign if it doesn’t show any additional information when you click on this?

Thanks via auto update on 2 machines.
All running nicely

The beta running smoothly here for now.

FYI, had a very looooooong reboot (several minutes), AvBugReport did send data afterwards.
For testing purpose, I rebooted the system again - but fortunately without any issues this time.

I had the Anti Rootkit Shield malfunction on reboot but only once so far ???

10

This update again breaks my ability to use MSDisplayAdapter_91
Unless I first stop Avast.
After stopping the shields, I can connect and can then re-enable the shields without problems.
That certainly isn’t the way it should work. This also isn’t the first time there’s been a problem
connecting to the device due to a problem with Avast.
Hope this gets addressed quickly. Thanks

I had one very long reboot as well, i have no idea why really.

12

I have a question, if I am running the beta with 20.8 latest beta build, when the official version comes, will it update me to the latest 20.8 build or will i stay on a outdated beta one? I don’t mean the regular version, but just a quick build update.

On beta channel, you’ll be always up to date, no matter what.

14

Just realize that you are using a beta product and you need to accept the risks of using a beta product.
Beta testing is not for everyone since this is not a version that has had all the bugs worked out.

I knew about the problem from Windows Defender warning not Avast.
Turni On isn’t working. (Trying a repair now.)

Ok, thank you.
