  1. I don't know why allot of those type of tools do it the way to do, and it will always have someone scratching their head wondering since using a search for such a thing has allot of pages with people asking the same question in various tools. If it's in single channel it's less confusing since it just gives the value someone expects to see. Add in additional RAM sticks and it changes what those types of tools display. Probably would help if it was added together and shown in such tools so it wasn't such gibberish to most people who just want to quickly verify their PC is configured as they purchased it.
  2. The DRAM speed is correct, and other tools like CPU-Z, HWInfo, etc., will or should show the same since it's dual channel and the value is halved, so you have to multiple by 2 which will equal the total speed 3200Mhz.
  3. New variables to use with CustomLocation for non-standard web browser paths, i.e.; portable browsers instead of mapping with a specific drive letter. Current: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile New Variable %LocalDisk% CCleaner automatically finds the path on internally installed disk drives: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|%LocalDisk%\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile New Variable %ExternalDisk% CCleaner automatically finds the path on externally attached Thunderbolt drives, SD Cards, USB drives, etc: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|%ExternalDisk%\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile
  4. In an installed version of CCleaner you have to do this to enable cleaner.ini: 1. Open CCleaner. 2. Go into Options > Advanced > Enable/tick: Save all settings to INI file 3. Close CCleaner. 4. Open the folder where CCleaner is installed, it's where CCleaner.exe, CCleaner64.exe are located. In that folder you'll find ccleaner.ini which can be manually edited to input a CustomLocation for portable web browser cleaning. A Firefox Portable example is this (has to be mapped to the profile folder): CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile
  5. Custom Clean: Collapse/Expand ability for cleaners Expand is how it has always looked and worked. Collapse could have cleaners for example Microsoft Edge collapsed, and only show the Microsoft Edge cleaner name text. This could clean up the look of the GUI for those cleaners where someone is unlikely to change the settings that often. Collapse Screenshot Example: https://community.ccleaner.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=14741
  6. In some instances even an SSD will require some amount of defragmenting such as in Windows (which Windows will do on it's own) because files can become so fragmented that they begin to cause issues.
  7. Find out if the drive uses Shingled Magnetic Recording ("SMR"), here's the WikiPedia page on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording If the drive uses SMR it can take a very long time to defragment it, one way to double-check and possibly get a faster defrag is try running the built in Windows tool Optimize Drives.
  8. Since Samsung Magician is correctly identifying it that's what's most important, and is another reason to buy Samsung branded drives be it SSD, USB Flash Drive, or SD Memory Cards because they have a utility that clearly states if they're genuine - and big stores like Amazon are not immune to selling counterfeits. Edit: Note that SanDisk/Western Digital has an SSD utility called DashBoard that will also very if they're genuine.
  9. I got same error last week when I was still on Win10 Home v1909, it wouldn't update at all due to corruption but I didn't bother because I soon upgraded to Win10 Home v20H2. I also got a similar error in Win10 Home v20H2 when Edge Chromium had an update, but on that occasion it had some text stating to try again in a few hours or something along those lines. I simply rebooted, tried again, and it installed without any issue. Note that I use that Edge Update cleaner, however I don't know if it's causing the issue or not. Perhaps it needs to be investigated and tested.
  10. For an SSD using Windows built in Trim function should work. There are SSDs sold have a security feature such as some Kingston SSDs, etc., although enabling such as feature might detail having to reinstall the OS.
  11. Yeah, storage drives that have personal files on it are a very grey area for allot of us to do a warranty claim on. It might be a different thing if SSDs were still very expensive even for small capacity sizes but that's not an issue anymore.
  12. Some manufacturers have did that before. For example ADATA has or had an SSD that was sold on Amazon.com that was exclusively sold in the U.S.A.
  13. Vice-versa it does, where an SSD is identified as an HDD. I have an two external SSDs formatted as FAT32 (the file system is the culprit) and Windows 10 Home v20H2 (and previous builds) always detects both of them as a Hard Disk Drive. If the drives are formatted using NTFS (which Windows only allows and forces, although it's easy to get around using a myriad of free 3rd party disk partition tools) they will be properly detected as SSDs. I only use FAT32 on two of my external SSDs for compatibility with other hardware (game consoles) that requires it though, so no way around not using it. Also not having Trim support with FAT32 hasn't caused the drives to die either. The file system used on flash based media (SSD, USB Flash Drive) can trip up Windows 10, for instance formatting a USB Flash Drive with NTFS and then enabling Write Cache on the drive will cause it to display in Task Manager as if it were another internal storage drive - although Write Cache on USB Flash Drives doesn't work.
  14. That almost sounds like making them a non-admin Windows user account. But of course CCleaner would need to Hide (preferably) or at the very least Disable and grey out the feature.
  15. See if this works instead: Options > Advanced > Save all settings to INI file It will create a ccleaner.ini file in the folder where CCleaner is installed.
  16. Include the ability to create Custom Locations for non-standard web browsers via the CCleaner GUI. It could be something as simple as a Browse button to find the browser Profile folder, that way there wouldn't be any need to edit ccleaner.ini or the Windows registry.
  17. Kaspersky has a large list of programs that they deem incompatible with their antivirus solution. Sometimes it's caused by the antivirus being out-of-date, that was the case awhile ago with Trend Micro where the users had to manually download the newest antivirus version and install it from the publisher website because it wasn't upgrading the installed version itself.
  18. Maybe the easiest route is by using the Custom Location that Nukecad already linked to here. It's easy to configure, although Waterfox will be listed as Firefox in CCleaner. Example: CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile
  19. My mother uses it, and of course her email was compromised via the https://haveibeenpwned.com link you provided. Probably why she also gets so much spam in her Hotmail, so much it looks entirely unusable.
  20. Example (when using CCleaner Portable, or when CCleaner is installed to save settings to ccleaner.ini instead of using the Registry): CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile CustomLocation2=CHROME|F:\PortableApps\IronPortable\Profile
  21. In older versions of Windows doing some Windows Updates would leave numbered/lettered folders behind like that, even if those updates installed successfully. I don't know if Win10 has that issue or not, although I've never seen it happen since using it.
  22. Random named leftovers like that in the root directory = No It would have to be coded to look for specific folder names, like how the community winapp2.ini file will clean out the C:\Config.msi folder. But if the folder names are random and not placed into a known system folder such as "C:\Windows\Temp" it's a losing battle.
  23. I don't get that Edge Chromium error as seen in your screenshot and I use the winapp2.ini cleaning entries from here in CCleaner, and also what's included in BleachBit and I'm not getting any corruption. From what I know corruption happens if it's closed improperly by forcing it to close such as via Task Manager, or if a cleaning tool could possibly improperly close it.
