  1. Since it's giving you issues the FREE version installer is available at (worth bookmarking): https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds
  2. Spoke too soon, eight days without it being an issue it has happened again. Ironic that it happened within two hours of my post above this one.
  3. "Possibly hardware related" which could be anything from the drive the OS is installed on, the RAM, etc. 1. Might help to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool that's built into Windows: Note: If it finds any errors you'll need to then test each stick of RAM individually (i.e.; one stick at a time installed in the computer) to find out exactly which is the faulty stick. * In Cortana/Search type in: Memory * Select from the list: Diagnose your computer's memory 2. Might also be useful to download and install Samsung Magician. It's their free SSD drive management software which will allow to see what the remaining health/life of your Samsung SSD is and if it has any problems. Just make sure it supports your particular Samsung SSD before downloading and installing it: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ 3. Might also help to run ChkDsk /f on all internally installed disk drives. Here's the usage of it via Command Prompt (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin) which is more useful since it will list corrected errors in the command window: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/chkdsk
  4. Fonts/Text Accessibility: * Bigger fonts/text inside CCleaner, or the ability for users to change the size and even the color. * Properly space and wrap text in the Results window so that it doesn't run off. Registry Cleaner: * Fulfill the once promised move of the Registry Cleaner into the Tools section, and have a setting or tickbox to disable finding anything in C:\Windows. * Registry Cleaner should be able to create a System Restore Point if the service is enabled on the system. Bug Fix: * Fix the random cosmetic doubling bug that lists cleaners twice. Duplicate Finder: * State that the hash (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) or whatever it is that CCleaner uses matches on dups. Example 1: SHA-256 matches, these files are identical. Example 2: SHA-256 does not match, these files are not identical. * Do not scan for dups in C:\Windows, AppData, ProgramData, i.e.; areas that shouldn't be messed with. Drive Wiper / Secure Deletion / Wipe Free Space: * Grey out the box so that selecting NAND flash based media isn't possible (eMMC, SD Memory Card, SSD, USB Flash Drive, etc). * Fulfill the once promised option to override what a drive type actually is since they are sometimes incorrectly identified, i.e., when an HDD is identified as an SSD or vice-versa. Unrealistic: * Update/auto-update similar to how antivirus does to download new files without needing a new setup file, i.e.; CCleaner.exe, CCleaner64.exe, language files, etc. * Or use Push Updates, example: https://network-box.com/faq-push-update-e Critical: Rework or switch the installer since NSIS has way too many failures both installing and now also uninstalling, others are Inno Setup, InstallShield, or whatever, or make your own. Here's a short list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_installation_software GUI Themes: Ability to change colors or apply themes, both official and user/community created. Community Winapp2.ini Improvements: Remove the necessity to use often forgotten weird characters, such as: \| Example, this: %ProgramFiles%\SomeApp\|*.log Would become this (as Windows see's it): %ProgramFiles%\SomeApp\*.log Auto maximize the CCleaner GUI window on displays that are now too small to fit the standard window size: Inspired by this topic: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/60001-ccleaner-too-big-for-my-little-laptop-screen/
  5. Whatever they've fixed in that KB has fixed my wired Ethernet connection. Before the fix it was about 80% of the time not detected after coming out of sleep, or even after reboots, and would have to be reset.
  6. The firewall thing that was mentioned is only relevant if you had blocks already set in place for things like CCleaner.exe or CCleaner64.exe, and the other .EXE files associated with it - Windows Firewall wouldn't normally block it anyways since it's digitally signed and trusted software.
  7. That's not good news, here's to hoping the other drive has much better results. I guess with me being very paranoid with my backups it's good that my main 2TB backup USB HDD has two identical USB SSD backups of it.
  8. It's unlikely that they'll change it. What you want and others too would probably have to be something done at the OS-level that completely ignores/overrides what programs do natively which I'd think is possible but it would make the program look rather goofy/strange when resized since it wouldn't be done natively by the program itself, and things would probably end up being hidden inside the window without any scrollbars or any wrapping of elements -- I've personally seen a very small amount of programs which can be counted on one hand that can't be resized at all and which are possibly "poorly coded" that will allow for dragging them into a smaller size, but as mentioned it causes things to become hidden in them and unusable.
  9. Closed. See the topic at: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/60006-ccleaner-wont-open-on-windows-on-arm-surface-pro-x-pc/?do=getNewComment
  10. I've left a link to this topic for the admins/devs to look into it.
  11. They changed the minimum size for modern displays a good while ago. What you'll need to do is maximize the CCleaner window, then it will fit on your screen. Edit: In on Windows 10: If you can't get to the maximize button and if the title bar is visible drag CCleaner to the top of the screen and shake it around quickly and release the mouse button, if done correctly Windows 10 will automatically maximize it for you. Also once maximized CCleaner will remember the setting.
  12. No Trium that won't work. Back in the WinXP era it was extremely easy to fix by booting into Recovery Console, nowadays with Win10 I believe a 3rd party partition recovery tool has to be used.
  13. It was by now reported a long time ago, and they've yet to fix it. It will sometimes do that, then on next launch it won't, it's random. At least it's cosmetic which is why I suspect it's been un-fixed for so long.
  14. Interesting that it caused the drive file system to become RAW. You can use a 3rd disk partition tool that can convert RAW to NTFS - don't know if it's a free feature in them or not though: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=convert+RAW+to+NTFS Edit: Note that you may need to use a recovery tool first just in case the converting causes file loss.
  15. That KB took awhile to install even with an SSD as the boot drive.
  16. I got it with a KB update today. Simply Solution: Right-click it, then select Exclude
  17. It's a bit drastic to reset your PC - I'm assuming you mean to start fresh again with a clean install of Windows, I wouldn't do that just to get rid of CCleaner. Make sure there's no CCleaner processes running when attempting to uninstall, and if you still can't uninstall it there's always a manual uninstall method which you could get away with doing since it isn't hooked deep into the system like a driver, etc. Manual uninstall simply details just deleting it, and if you know your way around the Windows registry you could also manually delete the CCleaner settings in there too or just leave them if you're not comfortable editing the registry.
  18. I personally do just that on Win10, but I leave anything that points to the OS specifically in C:\Windows alone.
  19. If the docs don't state something just post on these forums and someone can tell you.
  20. Not really an "error" in my opinion since it does state Unrecoverable, so even if it did state that about the files data you still wouldn't be able to recover it since it's deemed unrecoverable. Hopefully you have a recent enough backup to restore from!
  21. Already pre-selected programs are just cleaned, like their Recent File List ("MRU"), etc. Nothing is uninstalled automatically, you have to initiate uninstalling a software yourself if you use the built in uninstall tool 'Tools > Uninstall' which just mirrors what Windows already does. Recommend reading the documentation: https://www.ccleaner.com/docs
  22. Maybe give Foobar2000 Audio Player a try to, it has additional components (aka "plugins") you can download separately but since I've never used it like you intend I don't know if it will be a solution for you.
  23. I've seen silly stuff like that before, for instance in the past with some file upload/download hosts. I guess it's better than that Captcha s**t. They'll have to come up with something better once bot software isn't so stupid and has A.I. built into it.
  24. Firefox may have an add-on for it. Any such add-on if it exists wouldn't be using anything from within CCleaner, it would be it's own separate tool.
  25. There's probably a resident program (or maybe a Windows Update since they pre-load some of them) that's doing that which may not necessarily be considered "junk" for programs like CCleaner to delete. Since you're so low on space you may need to run some program that monitors everything being saved onto the system - sorry I don't have any recommendations for such a program. Other than that try storing any "space hog" media files like music and videos on the 1TB hard disk since those generally never need to be on fast access storage like an SSD.
