AVG blocking NVIDIA display change

Hi All,
I use AVG internet security and play WOT. How do I stop AVGUI.exe blocking NVIDIA display change that it attempts to change when opening World of Tanks game on new Lenova laptop so graphics are better.
Regards Barry

Hello Barry,

We're sorry to hear this.

We can certainly take a look into this and determine if the issue is due to firewall components or not. Open AVG Internet Security > Hacker Attacks > Enhanced Firewall > turn it off and check with the issue.

If it works then follow the below instructions and check, 
1, Open AVG Internet Security and click the Hacker Attacks tile.
2, Click Firewall options ▸ Network profiles - Change all the Networks to "Private".
3, Click OK to confirm it.

1, Open the AVG Internet Security user interface and click the Hacker Attacks tile.
2, Click Settings (the gear icon) in the top-right corner.
3, Click on System Rules - Please make sure all the tasks are enabled.
4, Click OK to confirm it. 

If the issue persists, please share the screenshot of the popup that blocks NVIDIA. 
Refer to this article for the steps to capture the screenshot.
You can post the screenshot here on your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.

Check the status and keep us informed here.

Hi AVG. What about those of us with this issue that dont have the full suite? I press the hacker tile and you want me to buy AVG. No thank you. Please provide a solution to this or I fear that my only solution will be to say bye bye to AVG. AVGUI blocking switch

Same issue, but AVG do not provide answers. So far the answer I have is to delete AVG and get something else. If we use the free version what are we supposed to do? The hacker tile wants us to buy AVG.
