Is there a command line switch for this? It seems to only run the cleaner when you use the /AUTO switch but not scan and clean issues with the registry.

There isn't an automation of the Issues scanner "registry cleaning, etc"
Complexity of incoherent design.

Do they plan to add this as a feature at some point?

I don't work for Piriform...but I would be surprised if they did, considering most people want to select which issues they fix.

Ditto! Although I trust CCleaner, I personally never want anything to just outright automatically clean my registry without at least showing me what is removed because everything has the potential to screw up at some point due to bugs, and/or particular system configurations/mis-configurations.

Hi There !

I've being using CCleaner for almost a year and every time I run the "issues scanner" I always select all the findings and delete them, and never have a problem.

Instead there are other registry cleaners that give me a pain in the a** but CCleaner so far so good.

It would be nice to see an automated issue scanner.

just my suggestion

Automatic registry cleaning is just a bad ideal - in my views anyway, no matter how trustworthy an application is.

So if CC had the option to auto-cleanse the registry, then how would instances like this be explained? In such a case someone wouldn't have an option to ask on the forum first if something was alright/safe to remove or if it should be left alone.

Good Point Andavari.

since there should be users whose registry cleaner works flawless and others who have that issue you just referred.

Best regards!
