Did you disable "Download" (2. Toggle Download)? It is now enabled by default and therefore Trim ignores your local winapp2.ini file.
No, I did not. Disabling it did do the trick. Can we set the default on 2 back to Disabled. This extra step to perform a TRIM is not at all self intuitive.

I definitely agree !

With all the previous discussion about "Action Center" on Windows 10, it does not seem to be agreed by the global community that "Action Center" is not the correct name. Perhaps we should rethink the change that was made a few days back, eh?

I suggest that the following be moved to Winapp3.ini. I do not think most users of Winapp2.ini want it to reset all the web page icons in Chrome and/or Edge. And it can cause users to have to do their own investigating as to why CCleaner is clearing out these icons....should they forget to uncheck these items. Plus if you are like me and assist less "computer literate" users in why and how to use CCleaner with Winapp2.ini, it takes a personal explanation as to why these should be unchecked when Winapp2.ini is installed/updated.

Question:
Piriform has removed the font cache entry from CCleaner because it could cause a boot problem (if fast startup is enabled). Should we add the FileKeys of this entry to Winapp2.ini?
[Font Cache] FileKey1=%WinDir%\System32|FNTCACHE.DAT FileKey2=%LocalAppData%|GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT FileKey3=%windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local|FontCache*.datIt seems that FileKey1 is causing the problem, so we could remove it: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/52857-version-540/?tab=comments#comment-300971
So you are suggesting that the code be....which looks good to me for Winapp2.ini. It does look like there is a "permissions" issue, however, that prevents CCleaner from actually cleaning out these files.

Thank you for your modified entry.
Wouldn't it be possible to use "log*.txt"? Or are there any important "log*.txt" files?
Yes, it does appear that "log*.txt" would work. The files "NvFBCPlugin|logError.txt, LogNvFBCPlugin.txt, LogPluginError.txt" are the only files that show up in this folder on my systems. However, I do not use a LOT of the capabilities of the Nvidia software because I am not a gamer. So I played it "safe" by cleaning only the files listed.

This utility might help reduce the size of the C:\Windows\Installer folder; however, it should be used with "caution". Worked okay for me on Windows 10x64 Pro Build 17763.194 V1809 and found ~200 mbytes of orphaned installers.

IMO, the non-cleaner settings should not be displayed. This provides an opportunity for a new user to make a mistake and potentially harm their system. Winapp2ool-ncc command line activation sounds like a great idea.
