Thanks, that was it!

I had already download that TB! version again and reinstalled, hoping
that the certificates will show up in the ABD, but they didn't.
Checking here on my home PC, I don't see any certs in the RootCa
addressbook either...

I disabled avast! in the office, and could use the computer without
problems. Windows 10 automtically enables Windows Defender when no
other antivirus is enabled, so I was reasonably safe (I hope).

I only wonder why there was no MITM problem with avast! under Windows
8, and it suddenly appeared after the Windows upgrade.

How would I do that? - I do like avast!, and I don't know whether
Windows Defender is as good.
