[Windows 10 Update 1607 Removes CCleaner]

After taking the update to 1607, CCleaner was removed. Speccy was left intact.

[New Windows 10 Update]

I dislike very much that MS just takes it upon themselves to remove s***. I was only notified about Speccy being removed, it told me nothing about CCleaner being uninstalled too. If the programs are no longer compatible with Windows 10, I would rather keep the files and be shown an error on launch instead.

[How do i update CC portable without losing the settings?]

There is no ccleaner.ini included in the portable ccleaner zip, your settings aren't erased from the folder when you extract the new version on top of the older one

 

Unless it hasn't been used yet, that's not what I'm seeing:

 

Also this:

 

I decided to extract the new version, and move over the .ini from the previous version. No issues as far as i can tell.

Good idea, I may rename my folder too. So you recommend just extracting on top of the old? I suppose if anything ever did go wrong, it would be easier to fix.

I don't understand, how would i do that? Do i extract the contents of ccleaner508 into the ccleaner502 folder? If i have this right, Windows may ask to replace each and every file inside.. and that doesn't seem right.

 

Couldn't I just copy the ccleaner.ini file inside the ccleaner502 main folder, and overwrite the .ini inside the ccleaner508 folder, or is that a bad idea??

I want to update CC portable from 5.02 to 5.08, but how do i keep my settings (ticks/cookie exclusions/etc) intact?

[Which cookie is the Google sign-in cookie?]

I use Chrome and occasionally run into crashes using Google Images. The only way to fix them is to remove all the google.com cookies, but I hate removing them because i always have to sign back into the Google account afterwards.

 

Google often leaves around 20-30 cookies on my computer, but which cookie is the one responsible for remembering Google account sign-in info?? I want to save it in the Cookies To Keep list.

[Can i install CCleaner without uninstalling the previous version?]

Thanks guys for the advice, i really appreciate it 

[Can i install CCleaner without uninstalling the previous version?]

I had fallen into the habit of uninstalling first before updating to a newer version.  (before I went to the portable build)

Admittedly 99.6% of the time it is not necessary but there have certainly been occasions when this has been required.

 

There also are a couple of threads that seem to be having an issue updating to the newest v5.01 and having to uninstall the previous one first.

 

I think it's good advice to uninstall first, but some of these newer programs (e.g. Malwarebytes) seem to install updates right on top of existing installations. That reminds me, can CCleaner be uninstalled using CCleaner?

 

Are there any differences in the portable version over these exe versions? With the portable ones, i think you can just delete them..? I would actually prefer that, but only if there were no major sacrifices in features.

Can i install CCleaner without having to uninstall the previous version? Or should i uninstall the old first, then install the new?
