Does the update to 1703 uninstall Avast like previous build updates have?

bob3160 · 2017-04-25T20:30:06.000Z

No, it does not.
I would suggest that you disable the Avast services before starting the update of Windows 10 v1703.

I haven’t had any problems with the win 10 Creators update. After I read about it via your link Staticguy I’m afraid of what might happen to my computer. I got a win update for this version today.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I say. No real problems here with version 1703 here either.

If you’re not getting hard freezes, blue screens, generally molasses operation, leave well enough alone and count your blessings.

@midnight: The link that I provided it says that the problems usually occurs “The problem is that some systems – particularly older ones – may not be able to handle the Creators Update, Microsoft said. The US giant has been focusing on updating newer kit first, since it feels that hardware is less likely to run into difficulties, and has thus stopped offering the latest Windows 10 upgrade to computers it suspects may suffer from breakdowns.”

If your computer is particularly old then it might run into issues especially with hardware and also few users were also reporting that their Broadcom bluetooth and their wireless network connections looses internet connection.

There was an update to Windows 10 via windows update few days ago and i updated it so far I didn’t get any problems or issue.

My laptop is brand new (couple of weeks old) I haven’t had any big issues after updating to the Creators Update. I used the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant. There was only one blue screen before and after updating to Creators Update because of an incompatible/outdated driver of one of the drivers Intel ProSet Wireless Driver. This issue was known to DELL and a DELL Support Agent gained access to my laptop and they installed an updated driver via DELL drivers and support page. Now everything is all well.

We are getting a bit off topic. This topic was and is meant to help with actual Windows 10 1703 problems.

Which antivirus(s) are compatible with Windows 10 Creators Update? For one I know that Trend Micro Maximum Security 2017 isn’t compatible yet, because CU is practically a new update.

Why don’t you pay a visit to each of their respective home pages and have a look for yourself

On this forum we only care if it affects Avast.

Windows 10 v 1703 and Screencast-O-Matic Pro quirk
If you’re running the above OS and program to do your screen captures,
be aware of the following unresolved problem:Saving a screenshot to the computer does not work if you have a ‘GodMode’ Folder set up on your system.
All other screen saver functions work but, if you want to save the screen shot to your computer,you need to first remove the ‘God Mode’ folder.
A fix for this quirk is still not available.

If you are going to do this to the Win 10 OS then you might as well go and install Windows 7 as that’s essentially what this user/creator has done, on top of several features of the system which have gone backwards in capability, who knows if this person has encrypted their own data collection into the system :-\

TBH I wouldn’t trust this OS as far as you could throw it : no Microsoft support either and probably some legality issues will arise from it yet :-\
