You can try disabling the following cleanup rules:

Winapp2.ini (v230901):
Applications > Windows > [Windows Credential Manager Saved Credentials *]

Thanks for your reply. This one seems to have solved the problem.

[How do stop CCleaner removing Windows Mail app passwords]

Have some email accounts set up in Windows 10 Mail using app passwords to circumvent 2FA. CCleaner deletes these passwords. What switch do I need to disable, or exception set, to prevent this? Thanks.

In spite of rule above being disabled, latest cleanup still deleted all but my Microsoft account from Windows 10 Mail.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks.

Thanks, I did have that enabled.

Last few times I've run CCEnhancer/CCleaner on my Windows 10 Pro machine it deleted all but my Hotmail account from Windows Mail.  It must be a new option in winapp2 that is causing this.  Seems like an unwanted behavior to me.  Can someone tell me how to disable it?  Thanks.

This cleaning rule is already in the Winapp2.ini

Thanks. I looked, but did not see it. 

[How to add custom rules to winapp2.ini?]

Hi, if I add my own rules to winapp2.ini, won't they be overwritten when I next use CCEnhancer to download a new winapp2.ini?

How can I add custom rule below so that it doesn't get overwritten? Thanks.

[System Profile Tmp Folders *]

[Win7 Start Menu "Recently Used" Not Working]

IIRC, though I'm not sure if its the same in Win7, it requires a reboot before the list starts refilling. It would be the same no matter what program you used if that is the case, it's just how Windows works

You may be right and I am not in the habit of rebooting after cleaning. I will post back after trying. Thanks!

 

3/17 Update: After rebooting, all works as expected. Thanks again for the suggestion.

[Win7 Start Menu "Recently Used" Not Working]

Ok, I'll try that but the behavior I am looking for is for CCleaner to clear the "User Assist History" and let it start over again. What I'm seeing is that running CCleaner clears the Start Menu "Recently Used" list but then also seems to prevent anything then being saved in the same list. After running CCleaner I can open a random number of infrequently used programs and none of the icons appear in the Start Menu.

[Win7 Start Menu "Recently Used" Not Working]

Whenever I run CCleaner on my Win7 system, it seems to interfere with its ability to display recently used programs in the Start Menu. I understand that it may clear them out -- I want that -- but it seems that afterwards the Start Menu won't save any new recently used!

 

I did the registry edit "StartMenuInit=3" which upon reboot sets the Start Menu back to its out-of-box condition but when I run CCleaner again the problem reappears.

 

I also set up an exception in CCleaner to avoid that key in the registry, but still no solution.

 

How can I prevent this? Thanks.
