I did all of that, the settings are identical for both machines, Push isn’t active, and never has been active, on either machine. Like I said, everything on both machines, is 100% identical in settings, both are on the same network, both can connect fine with manual update and all.
Last resort, I just uninstalled everything on that machine, and will reinstall after I test something else tonight not related to Avast. On a side note as well, I tried the “Brute Force” uninstall in the Avast External Controls program, and it failed to uninstall everything, leaving some registry lines, and the program listed still in add/remove. Anyway, I got it out using the Avast supplied remover. Swept the registry with 4 seperate reg cleaners, rebooted, and it seems mostly gone, despite me STILL finding entries in the registry via reg-edit. /sigh
Hopefully a totally fresh reinstall rebuild when I get around to it, will fix this update error, as its debillitating to me on my main box having to manually do that daily. Grr
