Each time I do a CC clean, since the last MS upgrade the CCleaner comes up saying it's "not closed" and has to "force close". This has been happening for the past few weeks (Feb-Mar 2021). Any idea what the problem could be, as I don't like force closing each time I do a CC clean when closing down.

Thanks Nukecad. Not really interested. You have made your point

That's your choice of course. You may be interested in the latest thinking on the registry cleaner from the CCleaner team: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59952-i-get-a-registry-error-on-ccleaner-on-windows-10-i-have-scanned-5-times/?tab=comments#comment-326804

> Did you actually read that Microsoft article? Yes I read the "article". Basically an empty article where Microsoft tells us: - Not needed - At your own risk - Make a backup I trust the ccleaner team. When they think it might be good and helpfull I use it. > 'Us' is computer users in general, or at least those users who know about the registry. Well that is me both times !

'Us' is computer users in general, or at least those users who know about the registry. Did you actually read that Microsoft article? Deleting leftover entries after an uninstall is one of the valid uses for a registry cleaner, but unless they are very unusual then they are not slowing down your machine and can be left there. Anyone who claims that a registry cleaner will free up space and/or speed up your computer is telling porkies. It may have helped with Win 7 or earlier but things move on.

Every so often, CC tells me that I must close my browser before it can clean, but the browser ( Avast ) is always closed down. Then, I am asked if I want to force close my browser but CC can't seem to do that ( maybe because it's already closed down! ) Help!!!

As I hope you can see below, CC is configured to clean the cookies and browser history from Edge - but it doesn't. A manual clean or restart (it's configured to run at startup) doesn't make any difference. After a clean CC cleaner states 'skipped' along the history and cookies (without Edge running) and this is the case following a restart - can you suggest a solution?

It is NOT a problem. Please read here, it is needed by Windows. https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59965-speechruntimeexe/?tab=comments#comment-327606

Thanks @hazelnut , got it. Hope Mike's doing okay.

I have the same problem on my 2 computers. Problem: ActiveX/COM Issue Data: LocalServer32\C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech_OneCore\Common\SpeechRuntime.exe -ToastNotifier Registry Key: HKCR\CLSID\{265b1075-d22b-41eb-bc97-87568f3e6dab}

Just closed the browser I got the ccleaner message "browser cleaned" So it seems the ussue has been solved. Thanks Nergal !

MVPS Hosts update 6th March Well it's been updated but I haven't heard anymore about Mike's health situation. https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Yes we have been dealing with this situation on the forum already and admins are aware about it. For example.. https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/60125-just-updated-to-version-5778521-it-skips-edge-chrome/ https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59769-edge-chromium-not-getting-cleaned-on-close/?tab=comments#comment-327585 https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/60126-upgraded-to-newest-version-smart-cleaning-after-closing-browser-doing-nothing/?tab=comments#comment-327622

Thank you for your reply. Ok, got it. Never mind.

That version of CCleaner is from 2016 and is more than 4 years old (https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/version-history). At the time, the latest version of Chrome was 53.0.2785 and the latest versions of Chrome that are in circulation are 88.0.4324 and 89.0.4389. One of the reasons that CCleaner gets updated so often is compatibility with the changes made in new browser versions. If you have updated Chrome at any point in the past 4 years then you probably need to update your CCleaner.

For your information. Another way to get to the settings menu is to press Alt+F or click the three-dots.. I changed the setting and will pay attention , to see what happens , when closing the browser later today,

Yes it is Nergal Will tty your suggestion later today Thanks for your help Lee

Hi Nukecad. I am not sure who the "us" is you are writing about. Is that a hand full of Whizzkids in these forum or is that the avarage ccleaner user ? I am using a modern device. But reguarly , I run the registry cleaner evety couple of weeks or so, ccleaner finds hundreds of entries that can be deleted. Especially after uninstalling software. I do trust the ccleaner software and allow the tool to delet these entries. And of course that also realy speeds up the system Lee

If you are using MS Edge Chromium, the release of Build 89 is quite a change. One new feature that conflicts with CCleaner is the Settings>System>Startup Boost feature. If this is on, CCleaner cannot automatically clean MS Edge Chromium because MS Edge is running all the time. The vertical tab addition is kind of nice; however, will take some getting use to.

With two drives inside the enclosure with RAID that makes restoration more tricky. If it were just a single drive I'd recommend trying in different enclosure since the interface on enclosures is known to eventually fail at some point. Perhaps your best action would be to ask on forums or sites dedicated to RAID that are knowledgeable with it before doing anything on the drive(s) that may be considered destructive.

I wonder why this one LITTLE thing is so blown out like it's a huge issue. It's allot of nothing really!

It doesn't always compact a web browser's database. I don't know what they have it configured to do, however I've noticed any compacting happens on a rare occasion.
