Many of these users got no clarification when they tried to contact AVG customer care.

Users of latest and even a few year old antivirus products experienced no problems in updating their Windows 10 operating system. The same is the case with customers using old version of Avast antivirus in their system. Here it is interesting to note that both AVG and Avast products are made by the same company and being sold under different brand names.

Within a month, the company has come out with a solution to this problem. In a support document published on its website, the company has provided a workaround to this problem of update to customers who are using old versions of AVG antivirus in their computers.
