I have noticed the same problem since version 5.04. Just installed 5.05 and it's still a problem. Installing an older v4 version 'resolves' the problem by correctly creating the required scheduled task. However, once v5.04 or v5.05 is installed, unchecking/checking the Skip User Account Control warning checkbox will result in the error again. Two things occur as a result of this bug: The 'SkipUAC' line in CCleaner.ini (if you're using an INI file) is changed from '1' to '0', and the required scheduled task is deleted. This appears to be a bug in CCleaner, but there is a manual workaround (I've also attached a .txt file in case the formatting below isn't friendly):
1. If you're using an INI file to store settings, edit CCleaner.ini and manually change SkipUAC=1
2. Manually recreate a scheduled task in the Task Scheduler Library:
- Right-click, Create New Task - General tab - Name: CCleanerSkipUAC - Select Run only when user is logged on - Check Run with highest privileges - Configure for: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 - Actions tab - Start a program - Program/script: "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" - Add arguments: $(Arg0) - Conditions tab - Check Stop if the computer ceases to be idle - Settings tab - Check Allow task to be run on demand - Check Stop the task if it runs longer than: 3 days - Check If the running task does not end when requested, force... - If the task is already running...Do not start a new instance
