In the code, I commented out the lines associated with Chrome and the False Positives by the Malwarebytes Browser Extension for Chrome ceased on my primary computer system.

Thank you for your information and research.
I wonder about the entry, because why would anyone want to delete all databases of all installed extensions? Doesn't this reset all extensions?
I think we should move the entry to the winapp3.ini. Does everyone agree?

Did you disable "Download" (2. Toggle Download)? It is now enabled by default and therefore Trim ignores your local winapp2.ini file.

No, I did not.  Disabling it did do the trick.  Can we set the default on 2 back to Disabled.  This extra step to perform a TRIM is not at all self intuitive.

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.

This change was made across all modules under the assumption that most people would usually want to download the latest. The default download setting now matches whether or not you have an internet connection.

I actually just had the realization that this has likely had the affect of also inverting any commandline args for downloading (outside the download module) as I typed this response, so I've reverted the change on the development branch. You can find an executable with the behavior you want here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/blob/Branch1/winapp2ool/bin/Debug/winapp2ool.exe

I'd also like some feedback on whether or not the non-ccleaner setting should be shown or if it should be behind a commandline arg (eg winapp2ool -ncc) which would set winapp2ool to non-ccleaner mode. The user facing change here would be that all the separate menu options for the non-ccleaner version would no longer be shown and the winapp2.ini options would select the appropriate file for your current mode. If for some reason someone wanted to still use the combined mode, I could leave support in for that through some other arg, but I would imagine there are not many people frequently interacting with both copies at the same time.

In the near future I'm hoping to extend the commandline arg handling to better enable people to use winapp2ool however they want in a scripted fashion, which should hopefully eliminate the need for potentially confusing menu setups like this.

IMO, the non-cleaner settings should not be displayed.  This provides an opportunity for a new user to make a mistake and potentially harm their system.  Winapp2ool-ncc command line activation sounds like a great idea.

Something in the [Cortana *] winapp2.ini cleaning entry is "perhaps breaking" the ability to have proper searches appear in Cortana/Search in the Taskbar of Windows 10. Requires a reboot to experience the damage, merely signing off and back on doesn't reveal it from what I've noticed.

One example of the damage is when searching for an app such as paint, it might find nothing at all, then it might only find Microsoft Paint, and then it might only find Paint.net. Note: This is after I've 'Reset And Rebuild Search Index' using a batch script multiple times testing this.

"I think I've narrowed it down" to solely being [Cortana *]. I don't think I get the same breakage to happen when using [MS Search *] and [Search History *], but I didn't test them as extensively either.

We revised the entry [Cortana *] a few weeks ago because it always broke the search for settings. We fixed that by adding an ExcludeKey for a cache file ("SettingsCache.txt"). But now it looks like the other files ("AppCache###.txt") should not be deleted either. I think we should then exclude the entire folder ("\LocalState\DeviceSearchCache").

(An easy way to restore Cortana: Right-click on the Cortana icon and click on "More" and then on "App Settings". Now click on "Reset" and wait a few seconds.)
