Two avastui.exe running idle

This morning I was Avast emergency update progress running on Task Manager while starting my PC, and after that I’ve had two avastui.exes running side by side constantly.

That seems to have fixed the issue, thanks

It was rather weird though, since when I rebooted my computer, my PC spent some minutes viewing “Preparing Windows” screen that shows up after system upgrade, and after that I was sent to a desktop with default Windows 10 wallpaper and desktop program icons (and my own folders were nowhere to be seen), with a notifiction “Microsoft failed to sign in to your account”, telling that if I did not try to log in again, I could “loose unsafed changes and files”. I tried out the re-login option it offered and I managed to get back into my normal PC account normally. Is that normal? :-\

EDIT: at least it didn’t seem to happen again after another reboot I did as a test

You’re welcome.
