Hi john55. Try right click on the start button and open commend promp as administrator, type sfc /scannow and hit enter. This will check your system files are all ok and fix any problems it finds. I usually do this after an install and usually puts right.

I would;
1. restart the system
2. turn defender off and Avast back on
3. restart again and set your clock... is this machine getting on a bit, your motherboard may need a new battery?
Good luck with it mate.

My desktop looks like John55, with a image of a window with light shinning thru it, except my screen keeps flashing on and off constantly. Has done this for at least 1 1/2 hours. I finally turned off and restarted. Still doing the same thing. Now what? Can I back out or what are my options? Thanks
