Do you have MS search checked off to clean in ccleaner? Have you only run ccleaner's cleaning routine, or did you also do registry. If the latter did you pay attention to what you removed?

I researched a little, and I'm wrong esent errors seem to relate to windows search. I'm not sure why ccleaner is adding those errors.

That's your antivirus, you need the tell the security program that ccleaner is trusted. I don't use ESENT so I can't give you instructions on how to do this, but I'm sure there are instructions for it.

I'm not sure but I don't think it'll run without the similar-bitrate command-line exe

Please realize that hazelnut pointed to the hotfix from Microsoft, thus it's a (dead version of) Windows issue and not ccleaner

No there is no way to recover them. Perhaps they're listed in your phone bill

If it's happening during analysis, it may be your antimalware software.

Yeah that's where I was going to go if there was access to another pc

First, unless you are a corporate user and actually utilize the ether boot (highly unlikely in this threads case but maybe), go back into boot order and completely disable "network boot" or similar name that'll stop the screen you are getting. Second, do you remember what registry entry you removed, have you created a windows restore disc? Do you have access to a second pc XP (or maybe Vista) or higher? Third, while hopefully we can resolve this for you, I would like to take the opportunity to point you toward my long-time, much earlier than windows 10, signature. It provides sane, rational advice for the usage of any registry "fixer" product like CCleaner (though I might add especially competition softwares as CCleaner is the most gentle registry cleaner that I and many others have encountered).

Boy Genius just reviewed this little tweak application for windows 10. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks a lot like TweakXP which I used to love back on Windows XP http://flip.it/gZKom

The following is what ccleaner uses to detect adobe flash player Detect=HKCR\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} Detect2=HKCU\Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayer DetectFile=%SystemDirectory%\Macromed\flash\flashplayer.xpt My guess is the first item is still there on your PC, and may or may not recreate itself at login.

No you didn't as hazelnut pointed out flash is built into windows 10's browser. This means you cannot remove flash.

What version of windows? Do you have google chrome installed?

Not the fault of ccleaner. All modern browsers use datbase files for their cache. When in use these files are locked by the browser.

Did you just upgrade your machine to a new OS? Windows.old is your previous windows version. However I suggest using windows built in cleaner to remove the windows.old folder

What antivirus do you run? This is often caused by the antivirus flagging the bundled google chrome/toolbar installer

I have moderated the above comment, please refrain from mentioning competitive software on the forum this is an official company website.

Sorry to be the bad news bear I feel that it's best to expand a bit about window locking some of those files in the windows.old folder. First of all it is a theory based on a small sample size (total universe of a single PC), so I may well be wrong. After my update I was 100% sure that, though i liked and had no issues with the older OS, I would not be rolling back to windows 8.1. While I don't know if the windows.old folder is related to the rollback in any way, I knew I had a huge folder sitting there that I didn't need. I attempted to manually delete it and it hung on a "cannot remove file in use" warning. I then found the disc cleanup tool (note: it's been moved from where it was in previous windows) enabled Administrator cleanup and checked off the enable "old windows versions" mark (not verbatim). It took about ten-to-twenty-five minutes.

Multiple passes are useless, and it's faster and better to let the windows cleanup utility to clean the windows old folder as I think win10 may have locked some files in it. Also the windows old folder is about 2-4 GB in size. 35 passes is the equivalent of writing 70-140GB of data; it seems, to me that one can safely assume this would both take a long time and cause some pretty extreme wear on your harddrive making it likely that your drive will die much sooner than it would have before you began the removal.

Please don't multiple post the same reply in every thread. Because you did post in multiple I now will repeat what I've put in the other thread(s). Your solution is flawed. The windows option you point to sets windows to run a program in a way that requires a UAC prompt thus it causes the warning you do not want. The proper and simple way to not get the warning is to enable the ccleaner setting for skipUAC This makes the ccleaner.exe trigger a windows task that runs ccleaner with highest privileges and lets windows know it doesn't need to UAC.

This instructions wouldn't do anything "run this program as an administrator" check mark causes Windows to trigger the exact warning you are attempting to avoid. The proper way to not get the warning is to enable skip UAC in ccleaner's settings.

Uh why? I've never used this browser, so why would I opine?

Here's the explanation (not from Piriform but still valid). A hard drive wears out. There is only so much read and writing that a Hard Disc Mechanism can do, this is a limited amount. When you chose to wipe the drive, especially if you had multiple passes set you pushed the drive past its limit. While it is regrettable that this happened, it's not really a problem with ccleaner as much as it was time for your drive to go.

No changelog mentions it because no new version has been released since the report was made.

...uhhhh ok. Back to spotify, as a music producer I've found them to be...well, Evil. This new policy just goes to show that they, like every-other algorithmic service, are going to pretend to know you better by using your data, but really just want to sell ads "directed" at you.
