I've wound back on CCleaner updates and it functions correctly at V5.40.
Ccleaner v5.40 is the last version that is any good. Sad, but CCleaner is getting more bug ridden with every release.. Running 5.40 here too.
Time to start looking for a replacement.

Same problem here. I went back to v. 5.41.
Me too, stuck with 5.40 for now. Also starting a search for alternative solutions.

I have seen this story many times before, an excellent program for years, that slowly goes down the drain.
The latest 2 or 3 versions are horrible with new problems. And Bugs that were reported long ago still remain (like drive wiper reporting every drive as an SSD). Not a really bad bug in and of itself, but a reflection of horrible programming technique.
Really a shame, CCleaner was once one of the best PC utilities.

The new update is very slow analyzing my system. This is with Windows 7 on a Samsung SSD boot drive.
After going back to the previous version, the speed returned to the way it has been for years. Either the new
version (5.41.6446) is doing a much more intensive check, or there is a big problem.

did you try the suggestion in post #7 by MrT?
I ran both the x86 and 64bit versions of CCleaner as you requested. My system has 3 mechanical HD's and one SSD, all SATA. I use the BIOS to multi-boot.
In both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro, CCleaner 32bit and 64bit v5.31.6105 see all of the drives as being an (SSD's).
However, booting to 'Windows 10 Pro Version 1607', CCleaner does identify the drives correctly.
CCleaner falsely recognises my HDD as an SSD so refuses to let me securely wipe it

This a long standing bug and Piriform does absolutely nothing to fix it, along with a long list of other issues.
End of an era approaches.. :-(
