In Windows 8/10, TokenBroker/Cache is being used to store login infos, so this should be removed from all the Windows 8/10 related entries. There was a similar issue with the [Security Service Token Cache *] entry, where Windows Insider Program account login infos were being removed.
...

That's done already.

Did you read your old post?!

You clearly talked about "%LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\INetCache"!

IMHO it's not a good idea to recommend something if you don't know why... But let's forget the topic.

BTW, I checked the container.dat files on my system. They all are empty and have 0 KB. And they get recreated after deletion. It seems there's no reason for deleting them.

Things change over time. I am currently trying Windows 10 Pro Preview build 17112 on one of my systems and lots of things have changed. In computer science/science, there is no final!

Removed entries:

[TCP Optimizer Backups *]

winapp2ool has been updated, comes with some neat lil tidbits

user facing changes:
new: merge module for removed entries.ini and custom.ini
new: autocorrect feature in WinappDebug
new: download & trim the latest winapp2.ini
new: diff local winapp2.ini against online versions
new: download removed entries.ini
changed: menu layouts

It also now requires .NET Framework 4.6 which I think means Windows XP will no longer be supported. This is because of a TLS change on GitHub's end that .NET Framework 4.5 alone didn't support.

And !!!  Thanks for the new update and enhancements in winapp2ool.exe.  It's turned into a very powerful and useful tool for users of winapp2.ini.:wub:

I think I have an idea of the problem here and have a fix ready. Does your custom.ini have a "; version " string? or any ini comments (lines that start with ; ) at all? If not, try adding one and see if it works. I found a spot in the winapp2file constructor where an exception would occur if handed an inifile object with no comments. If that's the problem, the next build will fix it.

I added a ; Version by Tom comment line and the MERGE worked perfectly.  I MERGEd, TRIMmed, WINAPPDEBUGged, and CCINIDEBUGged all in one round.....everything ran exactly as designed.  So your "idea" as to what can cause the exception is correct.

Merge error in Winapp2ool.exe

Attached is a pic that shows that the Merge process in Winapp2ool.exe is clipping off lines at the end of the Merge txt.  This is 100% repeatable on my Windows 10x64 Pro systems.

Merge has had its underlying behaviors changed since you posted this (namely how it handles sections with duplicate names between ini files) so I'll have to ask that you test with the newest build when its posted (hopefully tonight!) and see if this issue persists!

winapp2ool.exe has been updated
 

Something not listed in the changes on the commit (pasted below) is that the application should no longer crash when you hand it an ini with no ; version string in it. :)

I posted about the command line arguments here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/issues/200
 

 

New: Merge Modes - Merge now has 2 behaviors for dealing with duplicate section names in the two ini files it's merging. The default is Replace & Add, which will replace any sections in the first ini with the section of the same name from the second ini. The other mode will remove any sections with the same names. Enjoy! 

New: Preliminary support for command line arguments. I'll post a list of these somewhere that isn't this commit message soon. Added basic support for loading winapp2ool with arguments to automate certain tasks. This feature is not fool proof yet (ie. if you try to break it, it will probably break) and for lacking of testing, not necessarily use proof yet either. For this functionality to work, most of the initialization for the modules was rewritten, so most of my testing so far has been to make sure the modules still work for testing the automation (though if the module works then in theory handing it valid command line args should work just as well) 

CCiniDebug was rewritten to a degree. The prompt to save ccleaner.ini has been removed, and it instead automatically saves its changes back to ccleaner.ini.

The prompt to save diff.txt has been removed. It is now available as a menu level toggle instead.

[/spoiler]

The new version appears to have corrected the clipping issue.  Have not encountered any issues or failures in the new version thus far (Download, Merge, Trim, cciniDebug, WinappDebug, Exist used/tested).

for [CutePDF Writer*] in Winapp2.ini, there was an typo in the Detect preventing it from detecting which I have corrected below.  Also I added FileKey1.  CutePDF makes tmp files in that folder and normally deletes them when the PDF has been saved, but occasionally the files can be left behind.

[CutePDF Writer *]
LangSecRef=3023
Detect=HKCU\Software\Acro Software Inc\CPW

I'd like to suggest an addition to [VLC Media Player *].  There are sometimes leftover zero byte .tmp???? files (???? being some number) here so i've added the removal of ml.xspf.tmp* to FileKey1.

[VLC Media Player *]
LangSecRef=3023
Detect=HKLM\Software\VideoLAN\VLC

FileKey1=%AppData%\vlc|*.cache-3;ml.xspf.tmp*

I am pleased to announce the first introduction of Winapp3. This file will be for aggressive/dangerous entries that do not make it in Winapp2. Currently, this is a very early beta build of an old Winsys.ini file I recovered that I have modified slightly to include a header, version number, # of entries, and removed all the old comments that are unneeded.

The file is very unpredictable at it's current state since it is quite old, but I will be improving it over time. It is very possible that this file can nuke peoples systems, so use with extreme caution. DO NOT use this file if you do not know what you are doing and you know how to back up and restore your system.

The first step would be to rename Winapp3 to Winapp2 so it runs on CCleaner (if you don't know how to do this step, then you probably shouldn't be using this file at all). All of this is pretty clear in the header, too.

So with all that said, here it is: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/blob/master/Winapp3/Beta/Winapp3.ini

Ultimately, this is also where cleaning of useless language files will be put, too.

I am a maintainer for Winapp2. I also have a open-source group on Steam.
