    I had exactly the same problem and AVAST antivirus was the cause.

    Once AVAST was uninstalled, Windows 10 worked great.

    now I need to determine which antivirus is best for Windows 10!

  3. How to uninstall Avast Antivirus if it does not show in the list of apps on the PC

    I have Windows 10 Pro N, version 1803. For the last few days Windows is trying to install an update, but states the following: Uninstall Avast Antivirus now because it is not compatible with Windows 10. If I follow the steps: Settings > Apps and Features
    ; Avast does not show in the list of apps. I searched for it on my PC and found it on one of the drives. I tried to delete it, but the message still comes up, and therefore my Windows update cannot be completed. How do I get rid of Avast Antivirus?

    Avast antivirus

    If you have Windows 10, then you have Windows 10 Defender which provides
    the same level of protection against malware as Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) provides on older operation systems
    plus
    enhanced protection against rootkits and bootkits
    . If you have
    Windows 10 Anniversary update, it includes
    Limited Periodic Scanning
    and allows you to also use a third party anti-virus program as your primary protection.


    Starting with Windows 10 Creators Update, Windows Defender is called

    Windows Defender Antivirus
    ...it includes always-on protection which consists of real-time protection, behavior monitoring and heuristics to identify and block malware based on known suspicious and malicious activity. Windows
    Defender Antivirus Creators Update is also compatible with any third-party anti-virus.


    Starting with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update,
    Windows Defender Antivirus
    includes
    Exploit Guard
    with four components of new intrusion prevention capabilities designed to lock down a system against various attack vectors and block behaviors commonly used in malware attacks before any damage
    can be done. Windows Defender EG is intended to replace Microsoft’s EMET which was confusing to novice users and allowed hackers to bypass because the mitigations were not durable and often caused operating system and application stability issues as explained

    here
    .


    You do not need avast! Antivirus which has been becoming more of a disappointment for the past several years and I no longer recommend it.


    Further, avast! pushes a support package for $180 offered by a third party which prefers to take remote control of your computer in order to fix problems.
