1

Hello everyone,

there is a new beta version ready - build 26.1.10716.

Release notes

:hammer_and_wrench: What Was Fixed

VPN

  • Event log errors removed: Fixed an issue where VPN-related errors appeared after a clean installation, even though VPN worked correctly.

Installation & Migration

  • Cleaner upgrades: Old leftover folders are now removed after migrating from older standalone versions.
  • Correct migration behavior: When account migration does not apply, no unnecessary data is carried over.

Licensing & Activation

  • More reliable activation: Fixed cases where silent activation retries were skipped, which could delay product activation.
  • Accurate license information: Improved how additional license details are detected and reported.
  • Lower background load: Reduced unnecessary license checks to improve performance and reliability.

Privacy & Data Handling

  • Personalized offers isolation: Personalized discount data is no longer shared between different app instances.

Email Protection

  • Reduced background submissions: Fixed an issue where Email Protection data was being sent more often than needed.

I visit online-fix.me in Firefox 148B3 and Avast Engine Server eats 50% of CPU

Hmm, I killed AvastEngSv.exe yesterday and today it eats 33% again; considering WeSt5 said, there seems to be something wrong. I made two dumps of AvastEngSv.exe (yesterday and today) so if you need some I can upload it. @jan.svoboda

Hi, thank you for reporting the issues wit high CPU load of aswEngSrv.exe process. Could you please collect performance logs for couple of seconds of such CPU load by running this command(s) in elevated command prompt (cmd.exe). You can start logging by command:
wpr -start CPU -start diskio -start fileio -filemode
Now please let if run for couple of second and then stop logging by:
wpr -stop avast.etl
Then please compress/zip the file avast.etl and upload it here for analysis. Thank you in advance.

The performance logs are not needed, I am able to reproduce the issue with example UR online-fix(dot)me provided above. Thank you.
