[CCleaner 5.0 beta GUI]

I have to say that the UI of 5.0 is really bad.

It looks like a child sat down and tried to copy what he/she saw, by memory.

 

It has been my experience that creators/companies that decide to "improve" the UI of their products rarely care about the opinions of their user community.

Complaining about it will probably not move them to reconsider the changes. In their minds the "more modern" design will always look better, just because they designed it.

 

Anyway, if the updated UI goes ahead, I'll likely stay with version 4 until I can find a replacement program.

I am a diehard Windows XP user, and the new UI looks so out of place that it would be difficult to continue to use it.

My plans are to build a nice Windows 7 machine, but it probably looks just as bad there.

 

Obviously, designed with Windows 8 in mind, and with little consideration for everyone else.

It's going to be a sad day indeed, when version 5 makes it's debut.

 

Very wise words my friend. Definitely agree.

[CCleaner 5.0 beta GUI]

Piriform should at least offer 2 different versions. That's all I'm asking.

[CCleaner v5 Beta Bug Reporting]

There should be another Tab called "Browsers" in between Windows & Applications. It should have all of the browsers including IE here.

Agreed.

[CCleaner 5.0 beta GUI]

You really should offer two different GUI versions to download, one for Windows 7 and one for Windows 8.

 

Example: (Or)

 

If you run CCleaner on Windows 7 it should ask if you would like to enable Windows 8 mode or keep the Windows 7 mode. (Mode means the new GUI).

 

I think that bunch of CCleaner users might stop using CCleaner if there's no any chance to revert back to Windows 7 GUI, sad but true.

[CCleaner starts on startup]

Hi, How to disable so CCleaner dont start when windows starts?

The story of life....

 

How do you get those gadgets? Windows built in Gadget feature needs to be enabled to be able to run those?

[Move unfragmented files]

Allow the user the option to move a selected unfragmented file to the first free space big enough, not just the end of drive. This would really help me when a small file is sitting between two large free spaces.

 

Definitely agree.

[app disapears]

Try to use different folder than Downloads, and try to pin it to Desktop (like Windows). I don't have a MAC unfortunately. Don't use drag/drop because I might cause some problems.

[Speccy doesn't work in Windows 10]

@Aslan, if you read the OP's post #1, he has already tried that.

 

Now it's official, I have to sleep a week in a row. I'm way too tired to sleep posts correctly.

 

Edit: Sleep posts correctly....what? 

[How to make Speccy an auto-startup program in Win 7 64-bit?]

@Aslan, how does your post differ from Hav0c's in post #4 ?

 

How on earth did I miss that post. 

[WinXP CC 418]

I meant that if you use older IE version for example it might not show slim version, but I'm not 100% sure though because I don't have XP.

 

You can always try this direct slim version download link:

[Firefox Extensions REBOOTED]

ZenMate is now available for Firefox also:

[WinXP CC 418]

It should work on XP:
 
Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP. Including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, but not RT tablet editions.

 

Try to use different web browser.

[Comodo Secure DNS]

You can also create a .bat script to easily change between DNS addresses, here's a tutorial for Comodo Secure DNS:

In my opinion you could try MVPS Hosts instead of DNS, I don't trust DNS providers because of this:

[Speccy doesn't work in Windows 10]

Right click your desktop shortcut and select Properties, then select Compatibility tab, then select Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows 7 and then tick Run this program as an Administrator box and then hit Apply and OK.

 

This might help.

Or you could try Task Scheduler which is built in Windows feature:

Edit: Already mentioned in post #4 by Hav0c.

[Help with Speccy]

You can also check your temperatures with HWMonitor to make a comparison:

[Improve CCleaner]

I definitely agree, "Wipe free space" current location is kinda odd, "Drive Wiper" section would be more convenient.

 

And I also agree with "Active monitoring" suggestions.

 

I hope your suggestions gets the attention it truly deserves.

[Inconsistency in RAM reporting]

I might have similar problems, but with GPU ram, I have 8GB of GDDR5 ram, and Speccy shows it as 4GB GDDR5. Nvidia Control Panel shows it right. Speccy is not the only app which shows my GPU ram incorrectly. Maybe 880M is quite new GPU model from Nvidia that all the system nfo apps does not recognize the full amount of GPU ram yet.

 

My laptop model is MSI GT70 2PE Dominator Pro - 1616NE.

[4TB drive]

Try to update your USB3.0 drivers, I had this similar bug where drives didn't get recognized properly. Update your USB3.0 drivers and then restart your computer. I'm assuming that you need Intel's drivers, here's the latest driver for you:

 

For Intel 7 chipset family: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21129&lang=eng&ProdId=3467

For Intel 8 chipset family: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22824&lang=eng&ProdId=3467

 

Chipset Family 8 is for the newest Intel's Haswell processors, and 7 is for older processor models. Make sure you install the right one because you get bsod.

 

Also remember to check your OS model, because these drivers are comfirmed working only on Windows 7 and up.

[Hosts File Update]

uBlock extension also supports MVPS Hosts:

 

 

Check uBlock here:

[made a flat CCleaner UI on Photoshop. for fun :)]

I really don't understand all of this Windows 8 kinda "Tile and Flat" GUI, in my opinion still the best looking theme, or should I say visual style is Windows 7 default built in GUI.

[Google Bans Disconnect.me App From Play Store]

I prefer uBlock:

This is made only for Chrome browsers at the moment.

Oh and the "Like this" buttons in posts doesn't function, same as the old vote up/down system on the old software never worked, with the same "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day" error message.

 

This "bug" is still present. I haven't clicked Like button yet, when I tried it today it gave me that error message. Tested with Chromium and IE.
