NEW Beta version released - 2016.11.2.2262

Hi all,

new beta version is live: 2016.11.2.2262

Changes:

  • fixed crashing installations
  • fixed BSOD on AMD processors
  • fixed problem with huge antispam log
  • fixed repeatedly adding SafeZone browser icon on desktop after program update

2016.11.2.2262 Shouldnt this be 2016.11.3.2262 ? Maybe?

Nope, it’s just minor update, mainly bug fixing :wink:

I really wonder what you have down the pipeline on features ?

As Vlk already teased in another topic (I guess you read it?).

does this beta resolve the leak I found ? (internal tracker issue AV-9931 )

Will NG actually work again in this build? It’s broken in 2261…

Yes, Dwarden. The issue AV-9931 is already fixed in this build.

Great seems that with this version also has been fixed the bug to build 14328 version of windows 10 insider, now I am installing windows defender, and then I have to turn off at the next reboot see if the problem has been solved or not, for now after installing it It tells me that the computer is protected

Update:
As we said the problem with the version build 14328 has not been resolved

In this version is still present, however, the bug that does not allow the authentication of avast account, says that you are not connected to the network even if you are connected

Another issue was reported in earlier builds and current 11.2.2263:

AvastUI > Tools > Statistics - Real-time data: Screen is populated with figures, which last a few seconds and is cleared.

Same Statistics areas: Memory leak and high CPU.
With this statistics window open, a second avastUI.exe appears in the task manager and immediately climbs to 50/51% and the memory used runs away like a home sick angel.

Whilst the CPU remains at that level, whilst compiling this post, RAM keeps climbing already up to 1.5GB and rising with no end in sight.

Seems to have stabilised at 1,602,696 possibly because running low on RAM - a further point of note CPU has lowered to 30+% but still not good. Closing the Stats window returns things to normality.

Has this been resolved in this beta build ?

AndreaVr,
we are aware of issues with the latest Windows 10 insider build and it is currently being investigated. If you installed the latest beta again, could you please send me any .mdmp files present in the Avast log folder (typically C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log)?. The issue is being internally tracked as AV-9977.

DavidR,
thanks for the report. Unfortunately, this issue will not be addressed in this release. However it is known to us and will be resolved in the next major release (internal bug id AV-9844).

Thanks for the clarification.

Theres still an Easter Egg inside Avast:

file:///C:/Program%20Files/AVAST%20Software/Avast/resources/slot.htm

^^Open in a browser :slight_smile:

I’m sorry but I looked anchio in that folder and there was no LOG

It wasn’t a log that was being asked for, but any .mdmp files that happened to be in that log sub-folder.

I’m afraid you wrong or the fix isn’t working properly … more details tomorrow

Does this fix the issue with avast where the icon isn’t animated any more even tho the option is ticked in settings?

Also I found out in the stable version i am using, the “show avast icon” if you untick it, it don’t even hide the icon at all… Its still there… Did you guys forget to code this option perhaps?

details, just after 24h of run https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=185548.msg1309501#msg1309501

I will also like to know the answer to this.

I’d also like to see Avast load a lot faster at startup than it currently is - very slow compared to some other AV vendors.
