Will the task show up under scheduled tasks tab in Ccleaner?

Ah sorry didn't realise there was a scheduled task and startup. I'll check later. Thanks.

What is the D:\ file system ?
NTFS
It's also an Administrator account.
Also check the system scheduled tasks and see if the UAC skip task has hung aroundFirst post says
I know there is an option to have a process CCleanerSkipUAC Piriform Ltd "D:\Portable Apps\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" $(Arg0) override it but that is NOT active and the startup entry for it is not present and the UAC prompt appears everytime anyway. -
Alan_B thank you.

Is the portable always run from the same place? Yes. A second hard drive in my PC D:\Portable Apps\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe
Is it always under the same user account? Yes
Do you clean the registry? Yes.

On at least 300 occasions you have launched CCleaner and then selected a UAC response NO
No. Read the first post again to see exactly what happens.
and as a result can report a 1% rate of execution.I think you are taking my figures a bit too literally. I have no idea how many times I have executed CCleaner over the years but I know that on 3 or 4 occasions in recent months the program has launched before the UAC prompt appears (you can see it happen before you select yes or no) and selecting NO still allows you to run the program. So 99% is just an rough approximation and not an exact figure.
I admire patient tireless fault-finding investigations (which I do myself), but that seems a little excessive,Why ?
No need to take the piss.
All that happened was a few months ago I ran the program and instead of the UAC prompt appearing first CCleaner appeared first THEN the UAC prompt appeared which blocked access to the program until you choose Yes or No. I noticed this because normally programs don't appear until after you say Yes to the UAC prompt and wondered if CCleaner would close if I selected NO. I clicked NO and CCleaner was still running and fully functional. The majority of the time the UAC appears first and you have to select Yes to get CCleaner to run but on 3-4 occasions CCleaner has run before the UAC prompt and on each occasion I have spotted it I have selected NO and still been able to use the program.
Yes it's probably a fault in my hardware or Windows. I'm not blaming CCleaner - I only asked if anyone else had seen this. Don't worry. I'm not.

I'm using CCleaner Portable on a Windows 7 Home PC.
No issues with the application itself.
However I have observed on 3 or 4 occasions now CCleaner skipping the UAC prompt.
I know there is an option to have a process CCleanerSkipUAC Piriform Ltd "D:\Portable Apps\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" $(Arg0) override it but that is NOT active and the startup entry for it is not present and the UAC prompt appears everytime anyway.
99% of the time the process is
Double click CCleaner App
Screen Dims
UAC Prompt appears
Click YES and app runs
Click NO and it doesn't
On 3 or 4 occasions the following has happened
Double click CCleaner App
CCleaner appears full screen
Screen Dims
UAC Prompt appears
Click NO and app still runs and works even though UAC response was NO.
Anyone else seen this?

With the option enabled it appears in both start up and task scheduled. When disabled it doesn't.
