Revised Entry

It is safe to delete all files from the Backup folder. These are just cached files. ShareX uses original .json files from "%Documents%\ShareX".

Changed DetectFile from "%Documents%\ShareX" to "%ProgramFiles%\ShareX" because ShareX Microsoft Store app also uses "%Documents%\ShareX" location to store files.

[ShareX *]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\ShareX
Default=False
FileKey1=%Documents%\ShareX\Backup|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey2=%Documents%\ShareX|History.xml

Revised entries:

I think we can remove DetectOS if we correct the Detect paths. They only exist on the matching Windows versions.

[Action Center *]
LangSecRef=3025
Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action Center
...

[Security and Maintenance *]
LangSecRef=3025
Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Security and Maintenance
...

After some tests I am sure that the FileKey "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\ActionCenterCache|*.*|RECURSE" belongs to the entry [Notifications *]. You can test it for yourself: Just safely remove a USB drive. While you can see the notification, a file appears in the folder "ActionCenterCache". The file caches the icon. (In addition, the folder does not exist under Windows 7 and 8. And Microsoft itself calls the notification icon in the lower right corner of Windows 10 the action center icon.)

You're right. The [Notifications *] entry has nothing to do with notifications. This entry should be removed completely.

I just opened %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\wpnidm, and it has .jpg files that belongs to Microsoft Store apps.
Then, I opened wpndatabase.db from %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\wpnidm, and it has information about Microsoft Store apps.
I then opened HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications\wpnidm, and it has information about the Microsoft Store apps that are listed in wpndatabase.db

Thanks for your reply.

But I think the entry [Notifications *] is correct after all: I opened the wpndatabase.db you mentioned, scrolled through it and was shocked because I found many snippets of old emails at the end of the file. The wpndatabase.db-wal also contains many snippets of emails. These are traces of email notifications from Outlook. Wow, what a privacy risk! The wpndatabase.db-wal is also updated after new notifications from Outlook:

wpndatabase-db-wal.thumb.jpg.00cf718cf966c0a0c92238b233af6f93.jpg

Therefore I think that the entry [Notifications *] should remain and we should add the FileKey "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\ActionCenterCache|*.*|RECURSE". Unfortunately, the wpndatabase.db files are locked by a service and cannot be removed by CCleaner. (I have to remove them manually.)

Then I think we should change its name to Push Notifications.

By the way, whenever I delete wpndatabase.db file, LiveTile stop working on Microsoft Store apps, but I think we should add this back in the entry since it holds sensitive stuff.

Yes, now I remember that you wrote the issue with the LiveTiles a few weeks ago. And yes, adding the .db files back shouldn't be a problem as they can only be deleted in Safe Mode.

Is it okay with you if I add the FileKey "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\ActionCenterCache|*.*|RECURSE"? I think the FileKey fits much better in this entry than in the entry [Security and Maintenance *].

Yes, thanks for the screenshots. You can remove them as you like.

As I wrote in one of my last posts the folder is only for the new Windows 10 action center (= notifications and quick actions). The folder does not exist under Windows 7/8 and Security and Maintenance is also just the old Windows 7/8 action center. Therefore, the folder cannot belong to the entries [Action Center *] or [Security and Maintenance *].

BTW in my wpndatabase.db are also traces of common programs (e.g. system image program), so it is not limited to Microsoft Store apps. And missed (push) notifications are stored in the new Windows 10 action center, so notifications and the new Windows 10 action center go together. I don't think a separate Windows 10 action center entry is really necessary.

Edit:
I found the registry key for the new Windows 10 action center: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter". With this key we could make a separate entry. A suggestion for the name of the entry: [Notifications and Action Center *], because that's what Microsoft calls it in the Group Policy Editor. (And "Action Center" is blocked by the old entry for Windows 7/8.)

You're wrong on this one. "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\ActionCenterCache" has nothing to do with Push Notifications. This should go with [Action Center *] and [Security and Maintenance *] entries.

Open Event Viewer

Go to Applications and Services Logs> Microsoft> Windows> PushNotifications-Platform> Operational, and check the logs.

Both of those would show no matter what os is used, is that on purpose?

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

[Notifications *] entry works on all OS.

[Push Notifications *] is for Windows 10 only, other OS don’t need it.
