Lately I have been getting an error message that says " Delayed write failed - c\program files\alwil software\avast 4\setup\avast.setup the data has been lost? Any idea what this means?
My guess is that some systems delay writing to files for whatever reason, the problem being the avast.setup file isn’t a permanent file, it is created to carry out an avast update and on completion of the update the file gets removed. So if there is a delayed write after the file is deleted, the delayed write would fail and the data lost as a result.
That shouldn’t be a problem for avast as the avast.setup will get created when it is next required to Perform an auto update.
Though I don’t know why you would have delayed write enabled.
I didn’t know I had delayed write enabled. I disabled it-glad to know it won’t affect Avast.
Thanks
Your welcome.
