Thanks, testing it asap…

  • After the update, the PUP detection was disabled.
  • Manually VPS update never stops (vpsupdate). Funny side note, if you go to another setting and return you can start multiple VPS updates (vpsmulti). ;D
  • Else, the beta is running smooth, so far…

Thanks for the new beta :slight_smile:

Got it, auto update
All smooth so far. :wink:

Hi, after retesting it over a couple of days, it seems this only happens when a new VPS is available but not auto-installed yet.

@ Developers

Odd occurrence here doing the update manually from GUI.
Clicked on Program “Check for Updates” and progress bar flashed and then displayed in small red righting:> undefined < but no update started.
I had to re-click “Check for Updates” a second time for an update to actually occur.
The odd thing is it happened exactly the same way on both Win 10 machines,

Updated to 2354 via GUI - still missing any progress bar…!!

Was this released to the stable channel already? I don’t participate in Beta testing at the moment, but I checked for updates just earlier and it said that 18.7.2354 was available.

10

Yep, awaiting the official changelog…

11

yeah, we will publish release notes in few hours

12

I’d prefer in a few minutes, but ok… :wink:

13

If this has been reported or isn’t supposed to work yet sorry but I find that with this beta update 2354 the Repair Tab in Settings/troubleshooting section does nothing for me (doesn’t respond) , Nor does the “Back Up Settings”

Is this working for everyone, or is not supposed to yet. Thanks :slight_smile:

14

Nope, it’s broken for me as well. Cheers

15

Thank Asyn. :slight_smile:
Wasn’t sure if it was a known issue or just my systems.

16

Since this beta has now been released (with the same version number, my pet hate) is this bug still in the New program as an undocumented bug/known issue.

17

From my understanding, the Release version does not have the same “Setting” option/Menu so I don’t think what I’m seeing is in the Release version.
I don’t know for sure as I don’t run the Release, only betas :slight_smile:

18

There is no Repair in the Released version, unfortunately.

19

Since it has been released, Avast are hardly likely to make changes to the beta versions.

However, as Bob said the Repair is no longer there in the UI and neither is it in the Control Panel > Add Remove Programs/Programs and Features either.

Very disappointing as this valuable Repair option has saved many Avast users having to do a clean reinstall.

Hi David
THe ‘Repair option’ is in the beta UI but it’s just not functional yet.
I ‘originally’ pointed that out because I stumbled across it and didn’t realize it wasn’t functional ???
