Even when I do NOT start CCleaner v6.21 (on 64bit Win10) I can see that CCleaner writes something once a day to the file "BugReport.log" in subfolder LOG. Why? Is there a background service? I can't see it. How can I forever stop this background service and writing to all *.log files?

When I go to official download page: https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds Then under CCleaner Portable still only v5.9.1 is listed. When will v6.* Portable be available for download?

Behind some of the entries in "Custom clean" section there is a "*" What does that mean?

I ticked in "Windows Explorer section of CCleaner v5.92 the checkbox "Taskbar JumpLists" and run it on 64bit Windows 10 v21H2. Much to my surprise all the corresponding file entries in the two folders: C:\Users\thomas\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations\ and C:\Users\thomas\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\ are NOT cleaned but be kept after a CCLeaner run. Whats wrong? How can I get rid of them otherwise? Do I really have to add them manually in the "include folder" section?

Hmm, yes I am running Defraggler from USB flash drive. Why is Boot time defrag not possible?

Good idea, but wrong. I marked partition C: (with pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys on it) and......menu "Boot Time Defrag" is still disabled. Maybe it plays a role that partition C: is on a SSD and partition D: on a hard disk? Moreover it should be possible to boot time defrag partitions with NO pagefile.sys on them. Think about (at runtime) unmovable MFT tables, or Registry Hive files, or System Volume Information folder (for System Restore Points) or RECYCLE BIN folders or ...... They need to be defragmented at boot time What other reason could it be for greyed out menu? Does Defraggler Boot Time Function depend on a (which?) Background Service? How does Defraggler setup a Boot Time Defrag? Maybe it has insufficient access (write) permissions to Task Scheduler or Registry or startup folder? In this case Defraggler should show a corresponding warning

I log in as a user which is member of the Administrators group. Have a look at the attached snapshot

Here (Win10) this menu ("Boot time Defrag") is DISABLED (=greyed out). Why?

@nukecad: Thank you for your explanation. Just one more question: You talked about "unmovable" files. Yes, I know. These are MFT tables and registry files (beside pagefile). To defragment these some defragmenters offer "Boot time" defragmentation at next reboot which does the job when there is no file lock on these critical sectors/files. Does Defraggler have such an Option? I cannot find it. Maybe users can easily setup such a job by using Task Scheduler? Do you have *.reg Script which injects a corresponding One-Time Task into Registy? Thank you

I want to shift all files to the beginning of the disk partition. With normal defrag or optimize only defragmentation took place. But there are still huge space/sector gaps between files after defrag+optimize. How can I tell Defraggler tool to shift all files without gaps to the partition beginning?

In my notebook I have 2 partitions: C: and D: C: is located on a SSD and D: on a hard disk Now I mark partition D: on partition pane at the top and click "Analyze". Afterwards I click on button right of it and "Defrag" menu. Much to my surprise a warning pops up: "Volume D: appears to be solid state. Defragmentation may reduce its lifetime. Are you sure to proceed?" Why does Defraggler think that D: is on the SSD? Or does Defraggler show only D: but mean C: (and want to defrag it)? This is clearly a bug. Pls fix this. Thomas

When I go to Tools-->Drive Wiper Then I can start to erase free space. Until here everything is clear. But when I go to Options--->Settings then there are some confusing settings: 1.) At the bottom users can select on which partition to wipe free space. Why do I have to select partition here AGAIN? I though I have to select it on Tools-->Drive Wiper? 2.) Just above there is a check box "Wipe cluster Tips"? Cluster Tips are only the remaining unused parts of partially filled clusters. But it does not mean FULL free clusters. So are always only clusters tips wiped but not the actual all free space on a partition? These options are at least misleading.

I am new to Winapp2 and tried to use it for CCLeaner. I downloaded newest winapp2ool.exe from github and put it into CCLeaner installation directory (with winapp2.ini). Then I started winapp2.ini and selected 2.Trim--->1. Run (default) to trim all unfound applications on my system from winapp2.ini file. Afterwards I started CCleaner v5.78 and inspected in Custom Clean--->Applications all remaining entries with stars Surprisingly a lot of them still appears: E.g. for Opera and Brave browser. I never installed them. So why are they NOT trimmed/removed from winapp2.ini (...and CCleaner)?

When I go to Custom Clean then for some browsers the deletable items are listed. Is the deletion for portable browser installations suitable as well?

When I go to Custom Clean then users can find a lot of options in each section. How can I enable ALL options of such a section (e.g. Google Chrome) with ONE Click? Do I really have to tick every checkbox manually step by step?
