Thank you "TairikuOkami" from TenForums at https://www.tenforums.com/ That did the trick! Although I didn't find ntp.msn.com, I did find these: assets.msn.com (cookie to keep icons for pinned URLs) and msn.com (cookie to keep MS Edge's preferences). I have successfully added these to CCleaner's Exemption list and the problem is solved!

When I run CCleaner with Cookies enabled, it causes a performance issue with Microsoft Edge. In Edge, opening a new tab causes an privacy agreement pop-up to occur, this agreement is saved as a cookie, so each time CCleaner is run, that particular cookie is wiped causing the message to reappear. I would very much like to know if anyone knows "What" specific cookie can be added to CCleaner's Exclude list.

Update: It's been over 10 hours now and the Microsoft Privacy message has not returned. Keeping the cookies (in my previous post) seems to have done the trick. I don't know which cookie stores the MS Privacy settings, so I'm keeping them all.

Thank you for that hazelnut. I did come across that article before, but it didn't help in my case. I can open and close Edge many times without the message appearing, until I run CCleaner, then the message returns. I think I may have found a solution to this issue by poking around Options>Cookies>Cookies to keep: Cookie: c.msn.com Cookie: c.bing.com Cookie: bing.com Cookie: msn.com Cookie: api.msn.com Cookie: assets.msn.com Cookie: ntp.msn.com Cookie: scorecardresearch.com The issue appears to be gone... for now.

I recently started getting this popup (see attached pic) from Windows 10 Edge each time a new tab is opened. From what I can tell, this popup stores a cookie that saves this message's settings, but I think CCleaner wipes out that cookie. Does anyone know if this is true? and what cookie is it so I may add it to a Keep or whitelist in CCleaner. Thanks!

Thanks "nukecad" your method did the trick! BTW, would you happen to know what setting in the CCleaner.ini file triggers the "CCleaner needs to close Edge Chromium" message?

Thank you redwolfe_98, I will give that a try!

Thanks for the replies. Disabling Edge from running in the background permanently isn't an option for me. I have other software running on my system that requires Live Tiles and Extensions to be running. My imperfect solution is to launch CCleaner using a batch:

Problem: CCleaner fails to clean Microsoft's Edge Chromium because residual & child processes for Edge continue to run in the background. Workaround: My workaround involves running a batch script to end Edge's processes, but I would like to see CCleaner come out with a fix. This batch script needs to be run 'before' CCleaner to completely close Edge.

Update: So the registry key I posted seems to only work until the next boot. Here is a permanent code that appears to work (until CCleaner updates itself) or until Piriform fixes their bug: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner] "(Cfg)WelcomeScreen"="0" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner] "(Cfg)WelcomeScreen"=-

Thank you nukecad for clarifying about posting executables. I hope this rewrite better serves the forums. To all others that wish to have the .reg file for yourselves, here's how to make it. 1) Open Notepad 2) Paste the following lines into Notepad Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner] "(Cfg)WelcomeScreen"="0" 3) In Notepad, goto File and Save As... 4) In File name: Remove Welcome back to CCleaner Screen.reg 5) In Save as type: All (*.*) You now have your own copy of the .reg file

Recently my CCleaner has changed the startup screen. I had set CCleaner to open to the Custom Clean screen, but lately it has been opening up to a "Welcome back to CCleaner" screen. Executable file removed-Nukecad.

1) I would like to see a Run command added to CCleaner. Currently I use a batch program to run CCleaner before my PC shuts down, it calls the script: "tasklist | find /i "msedge.exe" && taskkill /im msedge.exe /f /t" so that Microsoft Edge (and all child processes are closed) so CCleaner can give Windows 10 a full cleaning. I think it would be amazing if there was an internal method of: "Run command before CCleaner starts" so I wouldn't have to rely on a batch program to do this. 2) Also, I made another suggestion in one of my previous posts (and the solution) to add a CCleaner icon to the Recycle Bin Context Menu. -- Those are my thoughts, thanks!

I decided to take on the task myself. If anyone wants to add icons to their CCleaner program, I've included the registry keys and icon freely. Step 1) UnRaR the files to your Desktop Step 2) Copy the icon file name: "Open CCleaner....ico" to the folder: C:\Program Files\CCleaner Step 3) Right-click the "Open CCleaner....ico" and select Hidden (so you don't accidentally delete it) Step 4) Add the registry keys to Windows You will now have icons for CCleaner in your context menu when right-clicking on the Recycle Bin. ***ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES*** I also strongly suggest making a System Restore Point!
