Having Trouble Connecting to Any VPN After Avast Update
Asked by
TechieGiraffe42
I recently updated my Avast VPN and now I can't connect to any VPN services. I've noticed that I'm missing some network adapters that Avast usually installs. I tried using Cloudflare's Warp, but I only have a partial connection—like Discord works fine, but I can't scroll in Telegram or play games. My browser VPN (the pre-installed Opera VPN) still works as it did before the update. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Avast, rebooting my laptop, and adding Avast's executable to my firewall exceptions, but nothing seems to help. Avast support hasn't been helpful, and I think the issue is related to not being able to install the necessary network components on my laptop.

Have you checked if you chose a full install when setting it up? Sometimes a custom install can help avoid these issues.

TechieGiraffe42: Yeah, it's just a full install—I don't remember having options to change that. I’ve also tried the repair feature several times.
WittySquirrel83: Same here! It's just a click of the install button, no customization.
