"Newly" appearing Avast window at every PC startup

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I recently updated my Avast Free Antivirus, with no Avast Firewall installed, from version 24.4 to 25.1 (PC Windows 10 22H2).

From that moment on, even though I didn’t change any of the settings, Avast window started to show up a few minutes after every computer startup with the message “no problems found on network”. In the window, amongst other things, Avast warns me that I have “just a basic firewall” (which, by the way, is Comodo Firewall, which I have been using for many years together with Avast Free).

That window is actually useless, because it warns me of something I already know (and don’t want to change) and that, by Avast’s own admission, is not a network problem.

So every time it appears I just have to close it, but it reappears at the next PC startup.
How can I make that window stop appearing (as in the past), while keeping Avast Network Control active (as I have always done)?

The Avast Firewall (I know you haven’t got it installed) and the Network Shied work in conjunction they seem to be intertwined.

Not having the firewall component but still having the network inspector enabled may be the cause of this.

Warning I have recently manually updated Avast Free to version 25.2 and my previous settings to have the two components work in concert went out the window after this manual update. Multiple Network Inspector popups saying it is scanning and no apparent way to stop.

Lots of trial and error later (which unfortunately I didn’t document) I no longer get these popups.
