I have this running in 10TP. If you want to run Avast as just a standalone scanner, turn off all 3 resident shields and ignore the ominous red banner when you fire it up. When installed, it will turn off Windows Defender. After disabling the 3 resident shields in Avast, go into control panel/system and security/security and maintenance and turn Defender back on. Do not use settings app to do this, the option is not there, use old control panel. Clear your notifications to get rid of warnings about no protection.

I use the Avast Internet Security program and it works great in Windows 10 and 7.
I use Avast Internet Security on all computers Windows 7, W 8.1, W 10, I turn off windows defender and Windows firewall works fine on Windows 10 so far. This suite is not a system hog like a lot off the others.
