ArcGIS – Fixing Crashes When Trying Category Symbology

arcgis-10.3arcgis-desktopsymbologywindows 10

I'm facing an issue with ArcGIS 10.3. When I try to use symbology type "category" the program crashes. It seems that is not a matter of data because I used the data before and nothing happened. The problem started yesterday after a windows 10 update so I consider something relate do this update (may 10).

I tried the complete uninstall and reinstall and didn't solve the problem.

I tried also save the MXD with another name in other location.

So my question is related to the possibility of a problem caused by an windows update.

Any ideas?

I think I discovered the problem. Is a kind of conflict with AVG Protection. If you use AVG antivirus (AVG Protection 2016.71.797 in my case), try to uninstall it, reboot and try ArcMAP again. It worked for me.
