Thanks for the new beta :slight_smile:

I still have Password Protection section on AvastUI ???

Thanks Karel, already up and running…

Hi, are you sure this is already included…!? Can’t see/find any difference here… :-\

Same here, guess he means if you had set a PW, it got lost during update - but let’s wait for Karel…

Sorry for misunderstanding - It is about the possibility that when you have set password for UI protection - it could get lost during the update.

Hi, I am sure it missed the first beta of 22.1 :-[ Sorry for that. But you can see this next week.

NP, thanks.

Hi,
Does this version fix the tray icon issue? Currently the tray icon appears at startup despite no tray icon in the settings.

Hi, a missing translation (German) - see screenshot.

Thanks for the report, will pass it to developers.

This issue should be fixed and we are not able to replicate it with the beta 1 build. Can you please confirm you did PC restart after the update? Can you try to uncheck the option and check it back? If nothing helps, please share the logs with us.

Hi, sorry I was just asking; I’m not testing. Glad to hear that it’s getting fixed. Thank you for your great work.

OK, so can you please confirm it works for you also? Thanks a lot.
