Barry -- what happens if you disable Avast? Do you still have issues? Is Windows Defender blocking you? What happens if you turn them both off? Can you download then? I gotta believe that between the two of them -- they are what is blocking you. If you turn them both off and you are still being blocked -- then there is something else in you way -- server-side, etc. Is you computer attached to a specific network server that is blocking? See what I am driving at -- there are only certain things that can block you from downloading a file -- anti-virus, windows defender, a firewall rule, something in your router, etc. If each one of those allows it -- you should be ok . If one of them is denying you access -- you just need to find which one it is.

Subject [GNC] Warning Chat GPT

As some of you know my PC, has refused to allow me to download an updated 
version of GNU, for reasons unknown, even on here.

As a desperation move it being year-end and the fisc  will be looking to be 
paid, I reverted to  Chat GPT to see if I could find a solution.

After THREE days of  interaction with Chat, I got NOWHERE, except to be 
informed that my MS on Windows 11 was now in a state where I could only reset 
it and lose everything and install a new version.

WARNING, that isn't true, today I started the PC and all is as it was, BUT, I 
will back up everything, just in case.

I still have the issues with downloading an update of GNU......

Barry
