"The WMI repository is inconsistent" means it has some problems, there we run "winmgmt / salvagerepository" to correct the problem
“The WMI repository has been rescued†means that the WMI repository was successfully rebuilt

Avast being installed on Windows 10 complies with the same update policies of the applications hosted there. They are updated through Windows Update, but in some cases Avast is not updated with this.
For this we can try some options such as:
- Update the entire system from the Start path
6. How to temporarily disable Windows 10 Firewall
The Windows 10 Firewall has the task of protecting the computer from incoming and outgoing connections and since Avast is a program that receives its updates externally, we can disable the Firewall and try to update Avast again, for this we will go to the next route :
- Windows Defender Firewall
There we must check the “Disable Windows Defender Firewall†boxes on both networks and then click on OK to save the changes.
