  1. It is suggesting there that those drivers "may" cause problems and that you should revert to the previous version. This is not something I have experience of personally. (I don't use driver updaters). However I do note that there is a checkbox there to select drivers with problems, what happens for you when you select that?
  2. Translation (google translate): Did you run the Driver Updater? It may have changed your drivers to versions that are incompatible with your machine. It only offers any 'newer' drivers than the ones that you have, there is no guarantee that the 'newer' versions are correct for your machine and some hardware does require specific older versions of their driver. (That's an issue that can happen with all driver updaters, and is why many people do not use them at all). If that may be what has happened to you then CCleaner does recognise that it may happen, and has options to help if it should happen. Open Driver Updater again and use the "+ Fix a problem" button which will offer to try and revert to the previous driver(s) for you.
  3. Thanks for changing the username, Are you doing a free space wipe or trying to do an Entire Drive wipe? It should let you wipe the Free Space on C: with 1-pass, but will grey it out if you try to do an entire drive wipe. An entire wipe of your system drive (usually C:) would wipe Windows and of course CCleaner itself. So even if it did let you start one it could never finish. If you do select a Free Space wipe for a SSD you are shown this warning: EDIT- If it still won't let you do a Free Space wipe the is there anything unusual about your C; Drive? Maybe it's one of those 'school' laptops that has a 32GB C: drive on a chip? (Is that why you are trying to wipe it?).
  4. Not with CCleaner, but it isn't difficult to fix. That message is from Windows, it happens when a 'hidden' attribute in the "desktop.ini" file has been changed for some reason. You fix it by deleting the current 'desktop.ini' files and letting Windows recreate new ones. See the Answer here for how to do that: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/textfile-after-boot-systemrootsystem32shell32dll/9d261d1f-8bfe-4e15-ad8e-38b2db7d365d
  5. The issue will be between Google Play and your chosen payment method(s). See: https://support.google.com/paymentscenter/answer/9034675?hl=en-GB
  6. That rules out that CCleaner is/was causing it to happen. So the problem is something else somewhere in your system, as a first step to fixing it run the DISM and SFC commands. It's always good to run those now and again, even if they aren't the problem here. (I run a SFC following each monthly Windows Update, and DISM if that finds any errors). I would also check that you have not somehow allowed Windows to turn your wifi off to save power. Open Device Manager and go to the Network Adapters. Right click on the wifi adapter(s) and select Properties in the menu that pops up. On the Power Management tab check that this setting is not enabled:
  7. I'm not sure that a restart of the computer should be needed. Usually if Windows does need a kick to rebuild the Thumbnail cache then closing and reopening File Explore is enough of a nudge. But of course all computers are setup differently to a greater or lesser degree, that's why they are Personal Computers (PC's).
  8. Just to add to the above; when reinstalling CCleaner be sure to use the 'Run CCleaner' from within the installer itself. We have seen in the past where there can sometimes be a Windows permissions glitch if you skip that step when installing. Note that there are online reports of other instances of various apps not running when clicked in 24H2. As said 24H2 is still a test build - so issues are probably to be expected.
  9. I'm assuming that you mean in File Explorer, and not inside some viewing app? It sounds as though your 'Thumbnail Cache' is being cleared, you can prevent Custom Clean doing that by unticking it. You can't customise it in Health Check which will always clear the Thumbnail Cache. Clearing the thumbnail cache just means that Windows has to 'rebuild' it again, ie. it's been cleaned out and gets automaticaly refreshed with newly created thumbnails. That should happen fairly quickly when you open the folder but if there are a lot of images,or you are doing something else that's using a lot of CPU, (or just have a slow computer) then it can take a bit longer. You can sometimes see that happening when you open a folder of images for the first time after a cleaning and watch as the icons automatically change to thumbnails.
  10. Although there is an update it may not be required for the Intel chipset as set up on your particular motherboard. You could try again later but if it/they still aren't being installed then I'd just use either the 'Pause Updates' or the 'Skip this version' button for the drivers in question, see the screenshot below. That's one of the problems with any driver updater - Just because there is a new version of a driver does not mean that it is meant/neeeded for your particular machine. It may not even be compatible with your machine at all, in which case updating to it (without checking first) can stop your computer working properly. (See various threads where that has happened in this forum alone). As an example you can see that the driver here has a newer vesrion than the one currently installed, however the older one was installed many years later than the newer version was released - because the older one is the correct one for the model of CD/DVD player that is installed this machine. 'Newer' isn't always 'best'.
  11. Helping people to use the software correctly is one thing. Tweaking/hacking a software so that it works differently than intended is something else entirely. (YOU may be competent in the registry, but remember that others who may be reading and who are not so competent can get in trouble when following, we do see it happen). As I said above if such a modification was intended for a user to make then it would be included in the options/settings so that they can do it easily. BTW You may have noticed that we don't usually remove such hacks when they do get posted by general users. However being a moderator has responsibilities, and so we are not normally going to post them ourselves. (Unless maybe if such a tweak is needed as a temporary fix to a problem).
  12. I did post above what those 4 IPs are:
  13. Sorry dunno, but it will be interesting if you do find the cause. (If it was something that CCleaner was doing then I'd expect a lot of shouting here). I'd suggest that it's something in the settings for those browsers on that particular machine. Or it may be the particular websites hosting the video content that is suddenly being being blocked? Maybe check your browser security settings to see if they have changed? I know they change them regularly. eg. Recently both Firefox and Edge suddenly started blocking content on my electricity suppliers website for some reason - no warnings, just that suddenly certain parts of pages would not display anymore, dropping the browser security back to standard in each browser fixed it.
  14. There are a number of tools that claim to be able to repair corrupted .fit files. I've never had to use any so couldn't comment on them, but as the .fit format is developed by Garmin then that's probably the one to try first. In your browser search "repair a fit file".
