Okay fine, but: the purpose of my post was to simply alert the author/authors of the existence of a potential problem. Ideally, even if CCleaner were making this kind of "working semi-blind" type of error, then the authors would also be interested in determining where their program "went astray", so to speak. Sort of along the line of the medical doctor's Hippocratic oath: "first: do no harm".

Running Windows 10 "Redstone 3" 64-bit (version 1703 build 16278.1000) and CCleaner 5.33.6162. The Registry cleaner function appears to be damaging the Edge browser, so that it subsequently either fails completely to appear on screen, or else appears for only a few seconds, then vanishes. This behavior has only recently occurred with the most recent O.S. builds: 16275 & 16278. The Windows.Old cleanup seems to function okay; CCleaner's Registry cleaner function is the apparent source of the Edge browser problem.
