pintree3 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Although I have the box unchecked so as it does not run when I bott my PC it still does so. BTW fresh install of Windows (Hence latest version of Windows home and latest version of CC) How do I make it stop running? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted November 12, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2018 Does it still run when unticked if you do a Restart of your machine ?

APMichael Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Did you also untick all checkboxes under "Smart Cleaning"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintree3 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks to all. APMichael, that did the trick :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintree3 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 I spoke too fast. It's there again, and on the following 2 reboots after that as well. Now what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APMichael Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Strange! Only an older version of CCleaner had an issue that prevented disabling "Smart Cleaning". Are the checkboxes under "Smart Cleaning" still unticked? You could check if there is a startup entry for CCleaner under "Tools" > "Startup" > "Windows" and disable/delete it.

pintree3 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 The main check box is still unticked and under Startup> Windows it was and is disabled (As to deleting it, should I, really)? However, under Smart Cleaning the checkbox was checked again--it wasn't me. I'll see if it happens again and update you guys on it should it check itself again.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 15, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2018 Edit: First make sure you right-click the CCleaner desktop icon and select: Run as administrator Then make those settings changes and see if they properly take. If they don't: If it still insists on loading even though you've disabled it you may need to do a clean install of CCleaner because the settings for it could be corrupt: 1. Make a note, or take screenshots of how you have CCleaner configured. 2. Uninstall CCleaner. 3. Restart your PC. 4. Then install CCleaner. Note: You'll have to re-configure CCleaner from scratch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintree3 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I guess it is good to try because yes, although I uncheck 'Smart Cleaning' it seems to recheck itself I will uninstall and reinstall CCleaner but do note however, that it is actually a fresh install I am using; not only was CC just installed but it was installed right after a fresh install of Windows 10 as well--both less than 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
