    CCleaner, driver updater, Nvidia display driver updates, GRD vs Studio issue..

    in CCleaner Suggestions

    Posted

    CCleaner's driver updater does does not tell the difference between Nvidia's GameReadyDriver (GRD) and the STUDIO driver.

    when offering them to anyone including me..

     

    example:

    I have the latest GRD for my EVGA/Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB gfx card.

    v512.95

    BUT! CCleaner tells me there is an update... which is not true..

    the update available is a studio driver v512.96 

    and studio drivers are designed for content creators and not gaming which is what I do.

     

    - GeForce Game Ready Driver  WHQL     512.95     May 24, 2022
    - NVIDIA Studio Driver               WHQL     512.96     May 23, 2022

     

    please either fix or add an update to the driver updater feature that can tell the difference between the GRD and studio drivers.

    please and thx.

    I have to beg to differ with parts of this.... the third line actually... the first half...

    Wear levelling is not seen by the operating system, NTFS, or any defragging software. NTFS, or FAT, allocates a cluster number to a file which remains unchanged for the life of the file, unless some user/client action (such as a defrag) occurs. Defraggers get their fragmentation information from the MFT, not from the disk, i.e. how many datarun entries there are in the MFT record for a file. What physical pages on an SSD are actually allocated is anyone's guess.

    interesting.

    aah... yeah.. hmm...

    That is where Defraggler could use some improvements I guess..

    optimizing the SSD/NVMe devices...

    I tried to do a quick optimize but it didn't move or defrag any files... that were fragmented...

    is it not suppose to?

    all I can do is move to end of drive or quick defrag to the closest to the start of the device...

     

    btw I have a bug report my WD Element 2TB external USB HDD is showing up as a SSD to Defraggler for some reason...

    That's the url to the store page for it if your interest in specs..

    aah... too bad

    though I am told not to..

    I still quick defrag my NVMe boot device... and so far have only used 7 or 8 TB written out of 600TB max life span..

    and I have two WD Black HDDs I find it give me better performance in terms of defragging.. to be my NTFS file systems optimized....
    my DELL gaming laptop has a 512GB NVMe storage device..

     But the home-use version of Defraggler is our least-used product, so its future is under review.

    That is so sad to hear..

    I use Defraggler many times every day, along side of CCleaner (which I PAY for every year...)

    to keep my system very much optimized...

    Defraggler Pro didn't offer me any real benefit.. so I just use the free one..

     

    as it happens I use it so often that I keep loaded in RAM... all the time..

     

    please don't discontinue it...

    please release the updated version that you are updating for Big biz.... :( XD

    CCleaner slow load time on startup [fixed in CC6.01]

    in CCleaner Bug Reporting

    nice!

    Thx for the feedback\help..

    ok so not technically a bug but it shows where CCleaner could use some improvements...

     

    I found in the  [CCleaner\Data\BackupStorage]  folder a hand full of zip backups...

    two were over 300MB in size ..

    so that was the culprit after all..

    CCleaner is now back to loading in 1-2 seconds now..

     

    a way to look at the driver backups inside CCleaner might help other people out more so..

    so we can know that there are lots of backups effecting the startup speed..

    maybe or something else..

     

    I will update my post on the tensforums to let them know I found a solution with the help of CCleaner staff.

    CCleaner slow load time on startup [fixed in CC6.01]

    Hi CCleaner devs and support staff..

    for the past few releases or so..

    I have noticed the startup times for CCleaner v5 and v6 on my Dell G15 Ryzen Edition 5515 gaming laptop, which runs Windows 10 Pro x64

    have been very slow.. ie. load times have been very long.. 4 to 8 seconds instead of 1-2 like on my Desktop gaming rig...  which runs Windows 11 Pro x64.

     

    Is it a bug in CCleaner or a Windows 10 issue maybe?

    I would appreciate some feedback, advice, or help...

    as I am not sure if it is a bug or not...

    I currently have CCleaner (v6.0.9727)(Pro) installed on both computers.. laptop and desktop.

     

    I started a topic on another forum and this is the link to it.

    the well % gauge for completion of a defrag be it quick or full is not very accurate and never reaches 100% completion..

    for a single file defrag (which is one of my favorite features) it usual reaches 45% or so.. and around 70% if I am quick defraging a lot more files..

    It seems to be working fine other wise.. it hasn't corrupted my system or caused it to crash, so all is good there..

     

    well whatever other improvements they could possible think to make to it..

    Just out of curiosity, what update are you looking for?   What feature are you missing?  Defraggler works fine for me unless I am overlooking something.  Also, why do you run it every day?  Modern HDDs shouldn't need that unless you are running a FAT file system.  Running every day is probably putting unnecessary strain on your drive.

    for updates the usual bug fixes etc...

    Piriform said they have been updating Defraggler for the cloud version for their business customers.. but have left us free users out in the cold... :(

    10+ years ago I tried a tool called Ultimate/Ultra Defrag or something like that..

    I tried to optimize the disk meta file placement including the $MFT master file table...

    IT borked!! the whole HDD..

    I had to reinstall the OS and everything on those HDDs...

    I was working/volunteering at a LAN center at the time..

    @Himeko @Melchior:Not abandoned.  Quite the contrary, the version of Defraggler that is used as part of the CCleaner Cloud business product gets updated on a fairly regular basis.  Plan was to fold those changes back into the consumer desktop product at the end of last year - but the release freeze we had bumped out the timeline.  With 100x the users, CCleaner is always going to get more attention that Defraggler - but we're still looking to get a Defraggler update out later this year.

    ok.... :(  can't be helped then... well I will wait for it..

    Hi All,

    We're having intermittent issues with the hosting platform used for the Speccy snapshots. The fix we are having to implement involves migrating the hosting to an entirely new platform. The new platform should be up and running within the next few days, please bear with us whilst we work to resolve this.

    Thanks

    this appears to be a long term issue.. as its still not resolved.. the Speccy urls don't work for me...
