I apologize for still posting, since the OP of this topic already solved the main issue. I don’t want to leave DavidR’s comment without an answer.

I disagree with DavidR in this case. If WSC works, great, but that doesn’t mean that the specific Avast setting I mentioned should be buggy. IMO, it is still not acceptable.

For some users, 7 days might be OK (from WSC). The specific setting I mentioned might not apply to this specific topic (renew of registration time ended/passed). But there are certain situations where you want Avast to tell/warn you that there is an update available and you don’t have it (yet). You don’t want to wait 7 days for such info. You don’t want to wait for WSC to warn you. On the contrary, you would want to know it the same day, and under some circumstances even ASAP.

I indeed can think of several situations where that setting not only should work as expected, but it is also critical. I don’t want to keep this discussion (little bit OT) open here, so I won’t explicitly post those situations here (there is/are other topics more related to this). The fact is still valid: the setting does NOT work, and that’s a bug.
