I have Avast scheduled to run a full scan weekly. Last week it ran fine; this week it did NOT run.
Manual scans will run OK.
This has not been a problem in the past. Problem occurred with the last version of Avast (avast 17.1.2286 build 3394.46) but recurs with latest version (avast 17.1.2288 build 3419.0).
I’ve changed the scheduled time three times this morning to confirm - the scan does not start.
I haven’t changed any hardware or software in the past week.
In general I don’t shut down this system at night. However I have rebooted it several times in the past week between the last scheduled scan that ran (2/20) and the first scheduled scan that did not run (2/27). BY “reboot” I include both complete cold starts and also warm restarts.
Earlier today (before the additional replies here) I:
[ol]- Downloaded the latest version of Avast (ver 17.2.3419.0 in installer).
Downloaded the latest version of AvastClear (ver 17.2.3419.0)
Uninstalled Avast in Windows Safe Mode using AvastClear.
Reinstalled Avast latest version.[/ol]
Re-install didn’t change anything; Avast still won’t run a scheduled scan.

Thanks for the info that this is known. I’ll await devs work.
