Lucky me, I’m still on Windows 8.1… while Windows 10 are still having some issues

No issues here. :slight_smile:

This is still talking about “On April 9th, 2019, Microsoft released their April 2019 Patch Tuesday update” and the Avast Emergency Update relating to this has been released a short time after this.

Hi Dave, the crucial part is the possible explanation.
Unfortunately, there’s no confirmation from MS yet…

There may very well be confict’s with other AV’s but not with Avast which is what this forum should be concentrating on.

28

Hi Bob, Avast has been affected and therefore it’d be good to know what caused it, imo.

29

There were conflicts with Avast from what I’ve read, this topic is also labelled “Windows Updates” so it doesn’t necessarily have to concern Avast as does another thread on the forum which is for Non-Avast security products.

+1 :slight_smile:

But by now I don’t really know, what I shall think about this all, for I lost my Win7 os [part of the Twin os] and I didn’t get it back! ::slight_smile: :o
Edit: AMD_Athlon 1800+ (see my sig, too).
