Did you try the following already?
https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/ccleaner-ini-files/how-to-clean-user-data-from-non-standard-mozilla-browsersI guess CustomLocation1 for Brave should be:
CustomLocation1=CHROME|C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\brave -

That doesn't work. Still comes back after a double reboot...
Sorry, but it works! Why should I confirm/post a workaround that doesn't work?! I used the workaround on 3 different systems and on all 3 systems the "Active Monitoring" still stays off (for 7 days now, no matter how often I reboot).
If you read the many other posts, you will see that the "CCUpdate.exe" is the culprit. But if you have disabled the scheduled task, the "Active Monitoring" isn't able to reenable itself. The scheduled task gets created while installation only. Therefore, if you disable it, it stays disabled.

The first workaround posted by TheOwner works reliable:
https://forum.piriform.com/topic/52329-workaround-how-permanently-disable-monitoring-in-5456611/Easy version:
- Open CCleaner and uncheck "Enable Active Monitoring" under Options > Monitoring.
- Close CCleaner.
- Run the following batch file as administrator. First copy and paste into Notepad and save as e.g. "cc.bat":@ECHO OFF TASKKILL /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq CCleaner*" SCHTASKS /Change /TN "CCleaner Update" /DISABLE REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "CCleaner Monitoring" /f -

Great! I'm glad I was able to help.

...The registry setting is now in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner...
The supposed fix, adding a string value (in the correct registry hive) of "CustomLocation1" with data "CHROME|"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application"" doesn't work.
CCleaner settings are still stored under the registry key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner". The registry key "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner" is used for a few installation settings only.
If your registry key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner" is empty, then you probably enabled "Save all settings to INI file". Therefore, you have to add the CustomLocation1 to the ccleaner.ini file.
And you have to specify the path to the user profile, for example:
CustomLocation1=CHROME|C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome Beta\User Data\Default
(Quotation marks are not necessary.) -
I can confirm all three bugs also!
Workaround for #2: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/52280-unable-disable-monitoring-in-5456611/?tab=comments#comment-297838.
@Piriform: I'm really disappointed about the poor in-house testing and the extremely slow bug fixing. Please stop adding new and useless features and concentrate on bug fixing! And please release a bug free version as soon as possible, not in 4 weeks or later. Other developers are fixing bugs within hours, your developers need many weeks or months! Why? And keep in mind that your customers of the non-free versions paid for the now broken functions and that there is a warranty for software in the EU.

Modified entry: [Syncios Cell Phone Backup & Manage *]
Added FileKey3 ...
Thanks for the modified entry. For the FileKey3 you can use the variable %Documents%:
[Syncios Cell Phone Backup & Manage *] LangSecRef=3024 Detect1=HKCU\Software\Syncios Detect2=HKCU\Software\Syncios Data Transfer Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\Syncios|android.log;log.txt FileKey2=%AppData%\Syncios Data Transfer|*.log FileKey3=%Documents%\Syncios Data Transfer|preference_conf.ini.old.bak -
JFYI: I can confirm this bug, too!

@javagate: I think he answered your question already. It seems that a Windows update causes the issue.
17 hours ago, Stephen Piriform said:In this case, there is another cause which is an update to Windows 10 (build 1803) that is breaking this functionality. We are working on this issue currently and anticipate a fix for the v5.46 release (release after the next one).
But it's strange that previous versions of CCleaner are still working...

I'm not sure if CCleaner is responsible for it, but the following should help:
Open a "Command Line" with Administrator rights and enter:
ATTRIB "C:\Program Files (x86)" +R -
I can confirm the bugs!
1. Free
2. No, just Windows Defender

I can confirm that also.

After installing the current 64 bit Vivaldi in Windows 7, I noticed that an entry was missing in [SetupMetrics *]. I'm suggesting to add FileKey21 as this is where the files have been going:...
Thank you for the info. I found out that it depends on the installation type. On the first setup screen you can click on "Advanced" and choose the "Installation type": "Install per user" (default setting) uses "%LocalAppData%\Vivaldi\Application" and "Install for all users" uses "%ProgramFiles%\Vivaldi\Application".

For the new README.md file with the Winapp2 instructions, it appears that most of the backslashes have been "escaped" like in a c string. So most of the backslashes in the path names are doubled up, also some of the asterisks are escaped, showing up as *\ instead of just *
That's correct, because GitHub uses the Markdown format (.md not .txt). Workaround: You can copy and paste the readme text, instead of downloading the .md file.

BTW, even if you don't install Avast an Avast Registry Key will be dropped. I attached a screenshot of it. If you are not familiar with the Registry just leave it. Otherwise, you can delete the key if you want to.
This registry key prevents that Avast will be offered again (with the next update).

For some reason, the TRIM function of winapp2ool.exe (V0.8.0.0) does not recognize the DetectFile shown below for Chrome and it trims these all out.
DetectFile2=%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*I can confirm this behavior. It seems that the TRIM function has a little bug. I think Winapp2.ini will fix this soon.

No need to worry. Wildcards are working flawless with CCleaner.
