I use CCleaner already for years (though occasionally to do some clean-up work, and mainly due to (misleading) false alarms by Avast). I had my settings adjusted to not clear my browsers history, which I do manually. So for the first time I used the more general option Health Check. I let it do what it proposed, and then it turned out it had deleted my browser history, although in the clean-up settings this was unchecked (for the specific browser). I use several browsers: one for serious work, one for less serious work or websites that seems less reliable, working without cookies, and one or two for cases where the first two don't work. For he first one I like/need to keep my history to find things I worked on last week or so. So now I lost that. I'm on W10, Avast AV, and OSSU privacy script. CCleaner up-to-date, april 7th 2024.

When in 'Health check' you don't want to proceed the program stalls in the popup 'Close programs'. The circled "i" does not respond. No response whatsoever, whatever you try. Same when you do proceed and you want to add some websites where the cookies should remain for. Also here a popup without responding. You can check some boxes, but that's all you can do. Windows task management shows 'not responding' for to CCleaner lines, and won't allow you to stop/abort the program. everything else keeps working, though. You need to restart the computer to get rid of stalled CCleaner. I'm on W10, CCleaner newest version (april 7th, 2024) , Avast up-to-date, and OSSU privacy protection script.
