@GJM1991, have you by any chance installed Windows 10 and then fallen back to Windows 7?

Hi, I'm having the same issue, really irritating, tried everything. So far I have only found two people with this issue: GJM1991 and myself... How many Ccleaner users are there?

1st question: yes 2nd question: no instances/processes showing, only after I start Ccleaner "manually"

What is also different is that I now get promted to run Ccleaner, even if I start it as an admin. I know I had that issue before but I got rid of it a long time ago. Before, even if Ccleaner did get started automatically at system startup, I still got prompted. And when I finally worked around that, it really worked in the background. So it looks a bit like a security settings issue, don't you think?

Nope, I am still puzzeled, especially since nobody else seems te have this issue. Most of the time, when Googling correctly, I find an answer to any issue, but not this time. Registry setting & msconfig tell me that CCleaner should run at system startup ("/auto"), but it just doesn't... Not after uninstalling/installing, not after restoring my power options to default, not after reinstalling in admin mode, not after setting the "Run Ccleaner when the computer starts"-option as an admin... And the strange thing is it used to work correctly, Before, I used to see the icon is the taskbar. /Monitor doesn't work either, only after I've started Ccleaner manually. I just need to figure this out because I cannot stand it that something doesn't work as designed ;-)

I read the tutorial you refer to, when I come to the point to "Change settings that are currently unavailable” (I see the option in the panel, just like in the tutorial) NOTHING happens. Through your tip regarding FastBoot, I realized that I have been messing with the power options lately, and that that may actually be the issue here (NOT the fallback from Windows 10...). But even when I have restored all the powerplans to their default settings, I do not get the option to "turn on (or off) Fast Startup". I am currently using Windows 7, as I stated before. And, when I click "Change settings that are currently unavailable”, nothing happens... I will try another reboot, see what happens... Thx so far for your help!

Hi, I do not (consciously) use Fast Boot. The "auto launch" option of CCleaner used to work fine before. Only after my fallback from Windows 10 it doesn't work any longer. Very strange, I tried everything...

Hi, I have always used the option to cleanup at system startup. Now it does not work any longer. Only thing I can think of is that I "upgraded" to Windows 10 and fell back almost instantly to Windows 7. After that, the automatic launch option doesn't work any more. I have tried everything (checked the registry entry, uninstalled/installed, run as admin, etc.) I haven't found anyone with the same issue yet, wich bothers me kind of... Anyone?
