Hi Hazelnut. Did that approach of toggling the boost and background buttons work for other people? It didn't work for me. I'll just wait for something to change. In the meantime, I'll just do an end task in task manager. Thanks.

Thanks Nergal. I have the Home version and I'm not aware of any way to turn off background running through windows settings.

Thanks Hazelnut. That's exactly what I've been doing, but it's a pain in the arse that seems like it should be unnecessary. Question, why do you think that Microsoft might think they have something to sort out? I would assume they're oblivious to this.

I had this problem earlier, and I fixed it (at least for awhile) by turning off boost, and disallowing background running of extensions and apps. Well, I've still got those turned off, but the behavior (CCleaner skipping Edge cleaning) has returned. Please provide thoughts and/or suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks @nukecad. I turned off "Continue running...." and that fixed my problem (I had previously turned off start up Boost). Appreciate your prompt, accurate response.

I clicked the do not show again box on closing and cleaning Edge Chromium. How do I undo?

Hazelnut, many, many thanks. That was the setting I was looking for. I'm sure that's gonna do the job. Really appreciate your help.

Well, thanks to TwistedMetal, Andavari and hazelnut. Unfortunately, Andavari and hazelnut told me how to solve a problem with Edge, but my problem is with Chrome. I had already fixed the problem with Edge by preventing Edge background ops (as hazelnut suggested), but I was hoping there was some similarly simple way to fix the Chrome problem. Unles someone else adds something I guess I'll have to live with it, like TwistedMetal. Are there any other Chrome users reading this that don't experience this behavior with CCleaner? If so, I'd like to hear from you so that I'll know it's not a universal problem, but possibly related to some setting I can change. Thanks to all.

Lately, every time I run CCleaner it says it has to shut down chrome, even though I had already closed it before starting to clean. I have to check though 3 windows, and then it often doesn't clean chrome. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a known p[problem with chrome? Any suggestions on how I might fix this issue?
