  1. It installed because of your recovery partition size (900MB)

    By default it is around 500 or 522 MB at install of operating system. Microsoft wants you to add 250MB by resizing  it through Disk Management yourself.

    They resized Win 11 users partitions for them, there is no reason why the cannot do the same for Win 10.

    I dread to think of how many millions of machines this has affected.

    Also how many people tried to resize it themselves and now have no working machine.

  2. Also note

    Microsoft is investigating Windows activation issues that appear to be linked to the company’s recent move to block Windows 7 and Windows 8 keys from activating copies of Windows 10 and Windows 11. If you have an installation of Windows 10 / 11 that has been activated using the free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8, then there’s a chance it might become deactivated if you swap some hardware components or even upgrade your BIOS version.

    I personally experienced this in late October on a copy of Windows 11 after swapping a motherboard in one of my test PCs and no longer being able to activate it using the digital key assigned to my Microsoft account. I had to purchase a new Windows 11 key instead.

  3. Technically it was an ideas site for users to suggest things for CCleaner and it was put online by Administrators, but no one is looking after it.

    We have asked, and asked, for it to be removed from the Ccleaner forum because it is just a spam machine.

    We have been asking/begging them to take it down for almost a year now but so far they have done nothing.

  4. Can you give the full website address of that site please because ideasccleanercom does not exist.

    The live one is 

    https://ideas.ccleaner.com 

    But it  is full of spam and not really worth visiting. The CCleaner administrators do not monitor it and I believe it may be outsourced to a different company.

    I did a healthcheck and clean registry.  Windows 10 (portuguese) Ver 22H2 , comp 19045-380.3
    Adobe Acrobat 23,006,20380 ( portuguese) 
    I'm not using any additional rules.
    "Stop working" means the program doesn't open. In the past, I also had Foxit PDF Reader, which also didn't work when I used CCleaner.
    The "Repair" option in Windows settings also doesn't work. The solution is always to uninstall and do a fresh installation. If I am inadvertently deleting a registry key, I think I'll need to know which one.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    It is not recommended to clean the registry anymore unless there is a specific problem.

    Even Microsoft recommends that you don't clean it.

    Macrium R.E. booting OK here from the dual boot menu following the update.
    (Updated OK on both my laptops with no 403 errors).

    I already have a USB but am wondering if the changes in the update mean a new USB now needs to be. or should be, written as well.
    I probably will when I get round to it. (I don't have the dual boot set on my second laptop so can do it from there).

    I  updated the usb as well.

    The boot menu I use for restoring an image from a working Windows. The usb I use for restoring an image from an external drive  when Windows won't boot.
