skip User Account Control is working on some PC's and some not.

All with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

Is there a bugfix in progress ?

if you know others have been reporting the issue then you should be aware that the developers read all threads but rarely comment, I'm sure they are looking into this.

Oh wait this effects all programs? Hmm, is it possible to make it only limit that option for CCleaner or maybe a more advanced feature to display a list to select which programs skip UAC warning

in order for skip UAC to work CCleaner must first be run with elevated privileges by a user who has permissions to create tasks.  The skip is a new task which is invoked when ccleaner runs.  The task is on a Windows-User-by-User basis, which means you must do this procedure For each and every user you wish UAC skippage
To show why your UAC isn't working, run task scheduler and if you need to export the task and attach it to this thread
