The problem is that CCleaner 5.44 crashes immediately so the setting can't be set. I also tried to set the setting in CCleaner 5.43 and then use the .ini file with CCleaner 5.44, but it has no effect. This workaround also had no effect for me before with CCleaner 5.42, the only thing that helped was reinstalling Kaspersky.
CCleaner 5.44 introduced pop-up ads, I wonder if this has anything to do with it.
