SafeZone Browser v1.48.2066.114 Not Working After Win10 Upgrade

Avast Secure Browser Avast Secure Browser for Windows

I have been using SZBrowser on Windows 7 for some time and it has become my primary browser. It does have two problems due, I think, to its open source Chromium roots [1] is a memory hog [2] creates an excessive number of processes.

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, SZBrowser would start up but had all kinda problems

  1. crashed frequently
  2. history not updated
  3. AdBlocker disabled and not working
  4. cpu maxed at 100%, slow response

IN FACT it was so bad I had to switch to Firefox.

note: I have had no problems with v1.48.2066.98 on a different machine.

I fixed it by setting launcher.exe to run in compatibility mode
(Windows 7) of course.

Now it (and I) am happy :slight_smile:

NOTE TO AVAST: you should allow customers to download old versions!

Perform a repair and see if it solves the problem in W10.
