Advice Request Avast main UI pops up every reboot

[Spartan]

Every time I install Avast for one of our customers (custom installation with only the file scanner, webshield, and mail shield), the main UI opens every time I reboot. AVG doesn't do this.
Anyone else facing this issue?

Note: I did block avastui.exe in the firewall outbound/inbound connections and turned off all privacy options

I did not block anything, just deselected all data/privacy setting (right) and notifications and showing icon (left)

Spoiler: Settings

Try blocking only outbound connections for avastui to fix the issue. Also, you don't have to block inbound connections to avoid pop-ups.

Use Autoruns to check if it is opening the UI based on a regkey entry.

I faced a similar issue with PDF software. Reinstalling and upgrading to a new version didn't help. I fixed it by using the "Run as admin" option from the desktop icon menu. However, you can try fixing your issue by removing the blocked inbound connections for avastui.

I'll try that tomorrow on the next install
