Hi Tom,

Glad to know that you've been a valuable customer with AVG.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to restart the AVG Antivirus services and check if you're able to access the application.

1. Ensure you are logged in to Windows as a user with administrator permissions.
2. Press the Win and R keys on your keyboard simultaneously to run the Windows Services console, type services.msc, and click OK.
3. In the Services console, locate and right-click AVG Antivirus, then select Properties.
4. Ensure the General tab is selected, click the drop-down menu next to Startup type and select Automatic. Click Apply to confirm changes.
5. Restart your PC and open AVG Antivirus again.

If the issue persists, refer the below article to repair AVG Internet Security.

Have been using AVG Internet Security on various devices for 10+ years.
Running it on a high-spec Windows 10 Pro laptop for the past three months.
Today, i wanted to run some scans, but the product will not start. What simple thing am I missing here?
