Avast's product manager, Martin, shared the news: "Microsoft temporarily disabled updates to version 1803 for Avast-installed PCs. We are working with Microsoft to find the cause, unfortunately. Currently we, like Microsoft, cannot reconstruct this error to fix it. "

The temporary solution is to uninstall Avast and then reinstall it after updating Windows. You can also wait until Microsoft and Avast find a way to fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use Windows Defender instead, until Microsoft finds a solution.
