GJM1991 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi everybody, I'm experiencing problems with CCleaner 5.21.5700 on Windows 10. Somehow I'm not able to have CCleaner start up automatically when I boot up my laptop. I checked and unchecked the 'Run CCleaner when the computer starts' several time, but this did not fix the problem. I'm also able to start the program manually from the start menu and the program itself seems fine, but I'm just not able to start it automatically at boot. I've tried the basic stuff like a fresh install and even throwing away some remaining registry keys. CCleaner is shown in the task scheduler and other places where you can check which programs are initiated at startup. The weird thing is that on my desktop I'm also using CCleaner and there it works perfectly, after boot it's there on the taskbar with a tray icon and everything. I can find no differences between my laptop and my desktop, it's driving me crazy why this simple thing just won't work... Any help is more than welcome, thank you for your time! Kind regards, GJM1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted August 31, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2016 Have you tried running ccleaner as admin (right-click icon and select run as admin) and setting it to run at start up? Worth a try. Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM1991 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thank you for your suggestion! Ccleaner is already running with admin rights, so that makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted August 31, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2016 On newer windows (seven and up) it is needed to use the skipuac option in ccleaner in conjunction with the auto start. Else sometimes the admin prompt gets swallowed. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

GJM1991 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 The 'skipUAC' option is also checked in the advanced options of CCleaner, still no CCleaner at startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM1991 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just thinking out loud, the tray icon says 'CCleaner monitoring active' which would lead me to the conclusion that the "CCleaner64.exe /MONITOR" is the command that is having difficulties getting through the UAC or something else when booting up. Do you have any thoughts on this?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGalloway Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Do you have the same problem if you disable active monitoring? Options > Monitoring > then uncheck all 3 "Enable ...." entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2016 Is ccleaner set to minimize to the tray, maybe it's opening and minimizing to tray ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

GJM1991 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 @CSGalloway, I tried rebooting several times but CCleaner will not start automatically, good suggestion though! @Nergal, already tried fiddling around with the minimize to tray, the problem is that CCleaner is NOT starting automatically, let alone show itself in the system tray... Ccleaner is working just fine but I have to start it manually after booting my computer, ideally I would like to have it just sitting in the tray doing its thing without me interfering.

xxMarkxx Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi, I'm having the same issue, really irritating, tried everything. So far I have only found two people with this issue: GJM1991 and myself... How many Ccleaner users are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxMarkxx Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 @GJM1991, have you by any chance installed Windows 10 and then fallen back to Windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
