I suspect that the Performance Optimizer is the culprit and have already pointed out this problem in another thread:
Unfortunately, the past shows that fixing such a problem can take many months...

@Novice55 Have you simply tried uninstalling CCleaner? This seems to have helped some users, for example:
On 17/11/2022 at 16:30, Peter N said:... Reading on this Forum that uninstalling CCleaner solved the problem for someone else, this is what I did and this solved the problem with MS Office and Acrobat. ...
Possible cause, which Piriform should check: I suspect the now frequent problems with Office have more to do with the Performance Optimizer. In a thread (which I unfortunately could not find anymore) someone had reported that the Performance Optimizer adds Debugger entries in the registry for the .exe files of the Office applications. Deleting these Debugger entries should have solved the problem at that time as well.

Modified entry: [Windows Logs *]
Added FileKey44
[Windows Logs *] ... FileKey44=%WinDir%\Temp|*.log ...JFYI: The directory "%WinDir%\Temp" has always been cleaned by CCleaner ("System - Temporary Files").
(Probably the files were still in use and therefore locked for a short time.)

This cleaning rule is already in the Winapp2.ini (220615):
[System Profile Temp Folders *] DetectOS=10.0| LangSecRef=3025 Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows FileKey1=%WinDir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\tw-*.tmp|empty.check|REMOVESELFUnfortunately I can't answer your question, you would have to ask in the forum of the developer of CCE.

... - I also saw the following "\real*player\". Is this asterisk a typo ? Or has this been done deliberately ? Does CCleaner allow that syntax ?
No, the asterisk is not a typo. It is used as a wildcard. Since the folder name differs for different versions of Real Player, the wildcard can be used to clean up all versions with only one FileKey.

Here you will find a description of the variables used:

I hope @Winapp2.ini is doing well and finds the time to publish her labor-intensive revised version soon.

It really looks like Avira is the culprit after all!
Another well-known cleaning tool also has a corresponding issue report:
https://github.com/bleachbit/bleachbit/issues/1378Avira includes a program file called "SentryEye.exe", which is probably responsible for the "C:\Windows\Temp\sentry_temp" folder.
If this folder is excluded, the issue can probably be prevented. See this earlier post:
https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/63148-apps-dont-work-anymore-after-temporary-files-were-cleaned/The Process Monitor does not seem to correctly display this probable connection with Avira (since Avira is considered to be deeply embedded in the system and probably redirects certain things). CCleaner would certainly never create or rewrite an exe file.

... Avira Security (free version) ...
It would be really interesting to know which anti-virus software the other affected users are using.
I found the following post in the Avira forum:
https://support.avira.com/hc/de/community/posts/8243246193169-Avira-is-deleting-all-my-exesPossibly the anti-virus software is also "going crazy" here?

Will you be able to modify Winapp2ool.exe so that the |RECURSE can be added back to [Logitech Setpoint/Options Language *] ??
As @Winapp2.ini has already written, the official syntax for ExcludeKey does not support |RECURSE. The |RECURSE is not needed and can be removed. It does not change the function of the ExcludeKey. (The many other similarly structured ExcludeKeys in your custom.ini also have no |RECURSE and work.) I suspect that this was a copy and paste mistake, since the corresponding FileKey was used as template for the ExcludeKeys.

The pipe symbol is just the separator for the file pattern. Directories are only deleted if |RECURSE or |REMOVESELF is also used.

... etc... which will delete the keys I want while leaving the "backup" one. Is there a simpler way? ...
The use of the "?" placeholder suggested by CSGalloway is certainly the best solution here.
In cases where it doesn't work even with the "?" placeholder, an "ExcludeKey" can also be used, like for example:
ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ\|metagameSave.json.backup -

Any idea where system saves usage history of Store Apps on Windows 10/11? I think there should be an entry to delete usage history. ...
This data also seems to be stored in the "Network Data Usage" database. At least, everything is reset to 0 for me after deleting all files under "%WinDir%\System32\sru".
Note that some of the files are locked and can only be deleted a few minutes after closing the Task Manager and all other opened apps.
The Winapp2.ini entry [Windows Subsystems *] already deletes these files completely. (The CCleaner entry [Network Data Usage] deletes only incompletely.)

This new cleanup rule is missing a Detect/DetectFile, so unfortunately it will be displayed on systems without Apple software installed.
[Apple Install Files] ID=3016 LangSecRef=3021 LangRef=9205 Default=True FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Apple Computer\Installer Cache|*.*|RECURSEPlease correct this with the next update. Many thanks to you!
By the way, this has still not been corrected: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/61545-587-winsysini-windows-delivery-optimization-files/

Is there a code to delete only the registry values?
This deletes the entire registry key "Recent File List":
RegKey53=HKCU\Software\TechSmith\Snagit\22\SnagitEditor\Recent File ListThis only deletes the registry value "Thumbnailsize" under the registry key "Tray":
RegKey54=HKCU\Software\TechSmith\Snagit\22\SnagItEditor\Tray|ThumbnailsizeHowever, if you meant the value (i.e. the data) of a registry value, then unfortunately, as far as I know, this is not possible. Also, wildcards (like "...\Tray|*") are unfortunately not supported.

Ok, then simply replace "\Google\Chrome\" with "\Microsoft\Edge\" in the path.

After cleaning with CCleaner & Winapp2.ini the respective Extension, no longer works!
A Winapp2.ini entry is not the cause, but the entry [Google Chrome - Internet Cache] built into CCleaner. As a workaround, you can exclude the following folder in CCleaner options:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\
Or these subfolders, then the cache is still partially cleaned:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\Database\ C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\ScriptCache\

I assume the corresponding FileKeys can then be omitted in the two entries?
CCleaner keeps throwing "debugger" subkeys into the registry
in CCleaner Bug Reporting
Posted
If you only used "Custom Clean", then I can't imagine that this will set the Debugger entries, since "Custom Clean" only deletes files and registry keys. I also only use "Custom Clean" (on many different PCs) and have never had the unwanted Debugger entries. Possibly it is then due to a feature which is only unlocked in the Professional Edition? Or an automatic update brought back the Performance Optimizer?
