Jefred Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I just installed ccleaner to my new Windows 10 operating system. It's a brand new gaming laptop from Eluktronics, a company and brand of computers. Anyway, I'm having the problem of Ccleaner stripping away all the favicons in my Google Chrome browser. As you know the favicons make it nice an easy when going to multiple web sites quickly and I more often then not just look at the icons themselves rather than reading the actual link. I know I can click on each one to repopulate it but it takes lots of time when you have many bookmarks. I haven't been able to see what setting I could change in Ccleaner and I have used it before (meaning Ccleaner) in my Windows 7 laptop and never had these issues. Do is anyone else having these issues or does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

APMichael Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Do you use a file for extended cleaning, like the file "winapp2.ini"? What is the version number of your CCleaner and Chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted February 18, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 18, 2019 It could be a change to how Chrome is populating the favicons. There was a similar problem with favicons in Firefox a couple of years back following a Firefox update. I believe that it was partly a sqlite database problem and partly to do with where the favicons were being hosted. It took an update to CCleaner to resolve it. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Google Chrome I just installed last week and it says this: Google Chrome is up to date - Version 72.0.3626.109 (Official Build) (64-bit) CCleaner is also just installed v5.52.6967 (64-bit) And I haven't cleaned aggressively or chosen anything that is an option (no greyed out options) I didn't use anything on the advanced menu or removed any ini files or cache. Those files are usually so small anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefred Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'd like to thank all who have replied to my post. You've all been helpful. I'm just using the cleaner for everything else and I'm just clearing Google Chrome's browsing data within the program itself (control+shift+delete).
