Hi there! I see that your TotalAV app's status bar is frozen and not populating. To get a better idea, could you let me know if this happens right after launching the app or only during certain actions, like running a scan or updating? Also, have you tried restarting the app or your computer already?
While I wait for those details, I’ll guide you through some steps that typically help with this situation:
1. Restart TotalAV - Close the TotalAV app completely (right-click on its icon in the taskbar and select "Close" or use Task Manager to end the process). - Reopen the app to see if the status bar updates.
2. Restart Your Computer - Sometimes a fresh system reboot clears minor glitches affecting app behavior.
3. Check for Other Antivirus Software - Multiple antivirus programs running simultaneously can cause freezes. Do you have any other security software installed? If yes, please consider disabling or uninstalling it temporarily to test.
4. Update TotalAV - Ensure you have the latest version of TotalAV installed. Sometimes bugs are fixed in updates.
5. Clear Cache / Temporary Files Associated with TotalAV - Since you are on Windows 10, you can clear cache by navigating to: C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\TotalAV and deleting temporary files or folders if present.
6. Reinstall TotalAV - If the above don’t work, uninstall TotalAV from Windows Settings > Apps, then download the latest installer from the official TotalAV website and reinstall.
Let me know what you’ve tried or observed so far, and I’ll tailor the next steps accordingly!
