CCleaner Broke Windows 10


Recommended Posts

Did you use the Registry Cleaner? If so did you allow it to create the backup it offered to create? If so the backup by default would be stored in the My Documents folder as a .REG file, double-clicking it will put the removed registry data back into the Windows registry.

 

If you have a recent System Restore Point try restoring from it - no guarantee it will fix anything though, but if it does it's a quick and easy way with minimal effort.

If if stays on the BIOS splash screen rather than the Windiws one, then that sounds like a hardware (possbily the hard drive) issue.

Backup now & backup often.
It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.
Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Same for me. Piriform know their product is faulty but they aren't doing anything about it. CCleaner (just the normal default cleaner, not even the registry tool) totally destroyed my Windows installation costing me a day of my life fixing my computer after Piriform broke it.

Please take bugs that kill people's computers and require them to spend all day fixing up after seriously then. I get that you don't want people to see that your product is critically flawed, but you can't censor such a bug away. 
Hazelnut has no ties to piriform as a company, she has no want to "cover up bugs". Our jobs as moderators are to keep threads on topic, while you may be upset about what occurred to your pc, you have a thread and will be afforded all courtesy there. Do stop posting in other people's threads. Thank you.

 

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.
