Two avastui.exe showing up on Task Manager

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Starting from my PC’s first ignition from yesterday, Task Manager has shown two AvastUI.exe running at the same time. When I’ve tried to check on them with Process Explorer and Security task manager, and while they appear both to be offical Avast files, where as other one has normal startup time, being the time when I started my PC, but other process has it’s startup time located almost three in the morning from 23.9… This process doesn’t seem to use any CPU. I included a snapshot of Process Explorer info windows and attached it into this post, left being the former and right the latter.

I,m not sure if this is related to other processes with weird startup time metadata after latest Windows 10 which I wrote about here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files/process-explorer-shows-weird-startup-times-for/16dcaf07-5b6d-4241-9cd8-41997720cf91?tm=1474733571076

  2. Click on ‘Repair’.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Reboot.

It seems that everything is back to normal, including problems I mentioned in the Microsoft.com topic I linked, though the reboot after repairing Avast took a longer time than normal. Also, when Avast repair tool was running, Google Chrome icon somehow appeared in my taskbar even though I had removed it from there… ???

OK, sounds good.
