Hi! Thanks for the answer.
I did donwload the file from the official web. However, I did not exclude 1password in Avast. I just did. I hope this prevents this issue in the future.
On the other hand, 1password was not on my windows startup list. That's why I couldn't activate it. So finally what I did was uninstall everything and then clean the registry. Y rebooted and then installed everything again. That solved the issue. Thanks for your help anyway!

Hi @JavCarden, thanks for reaching out! If you take a look through your Windows Startup apps list, is 1Password in the list, and if so, is it set to
On?Additionally, as mentioned by Ekalb (thanks for the assist!), we would also recommend making sure that 1Password (both the installation directory at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\1Passwordand also1Password.exe) is excluded in your antivirus, to prevent any similar issues from occurring with future updates. - EkalbSuper Contributor
Hello,
I assume you have downloaded the installation file from the official 1Password website.
Try excluding 1Password in Avast.
