TheOwner Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 1.Disable Active monitoring, System monitoring in options. Also disable CCleaner tray icon. 2.Remove CCleaner64.exe/Monitor (or CCleaner.exe/Monitor) from startup entries. 3.Disable "CCleaner Update" task in Task Scheduler. 4.Restart PC Now is monitoring permanently disabled.

jvidal Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 this is completely ridiculous. We have to find out ways to disable this crap instead of the devs fixing it and/or giving us a temporary workaround til they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahphense Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Ok, looks like it's working now. I hope. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwner Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 You probably doing something wrong. For me this working perfectly. The key of re-enabling is ccupdate task. So i if you disable it, it cannot enable monitoring again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchkenn Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 it worked for my win 8.1 machine, but after a reboot, wife's win 10 machine went right back to the monitoring checked. Strange and annoying. In fact, did the procedure twice on Win 10 machine with same results. Oh well, resorted to older version and possibly this will get resolved in the near future. if not, i can live with the old version until i find something else.

TheOwner Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 You probably not deleted CCleaner64.exe/Monitor, not disabled ccupdate task or you just forgot untick monitoring and tray icon in settings. Make sure you have also unchecked start CCleaner with PC startup. You can also rename CCupdate.exe to something else, but if you disable that task correctly, this is not needed. BTW this version is better for me, because now clean faster (No IE stuck anymore) and not caused any ESENT error yet, which was pretty common before this version.

jvidal Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 do not disable the ccupdate task, DELETE it. that works. And, BTW, IE cleaning is still very slow, even if you don't use it at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwner Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Delete or disable is the same. But if you delete it, you cannot enable it again without reinstallation CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bldrdrms Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 cleaner PRO v5.45.6611 does not deactivate monitoring. This is just wrong! Roll back to 5.44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ON EARTH would you wanna do that until the problem is fixed (i.e. new version)?????? When you install the new version that will, hopefully, fix all the bugs, it will recreate the task...

TheOwner Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Is not bug at all, just Piriform need telemetry from everyone so is forced to enable it again if you disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatnot27 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 How ridiculous. I found a solution: I've uninstalled CCleaner until it's fixed. I should be able to disable active monitoring. The whole point is to remove...crap. I don't need even more programs running continuously. Fix it, Piriform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwner Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Yes that is paradox. Program used from removing crap, is now crap by self. Adding new still runing process, previous version had Adware. Just like Avast which is Adware and Bloatware in one product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michl1 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Just deny request for program execution permission on system boot, that's all. In this case, you will not have this annoying CCleaner background process. Of course, you will have to confirm this request if you run the program by yourself. The background process should be stopped in this case using the task manager. Working fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickM Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I found a workaround, I assume you already unchecked monitoring and kill the ccleaner process in task manager I've done this both on my desktop windows 10 enterprise ccleaner free v5.45.6611 and laptop windows 10 home ccleaner pro v5.45.6611 1. Delete the file or Move file different folder C:\windows\system32\Tasks\CCleaner Update.exe 2. Disable or delete ccleaner update on task scheduler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetac Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Also registered to protest at this farce of an update. Easy fix i have found though is disabling (Right Click and Disable) CCleaner in the startup tab of task manager Works even after rebooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
