How do you mean that they 'don't work'?
If it's simply that they always show zero then that's normal.
Speed looks for unneeded entries in your Startup schedule - It should almost never find anything, (apart from the very first time that you run Health Check).
Security looks for updates to certain apps that you have installed - It will only show a number if something on it's list of installed apps is found to have an update available. -
Yes if you keep one of the new style cookies than you get all thoses extra partitioning chracters, as said the problem is working out which to keep.
The testing done in that other thread suggests that it's usually still the 'top level' one without the partitioning characters, although some of them only have a partitioned version.
Like anything else new it's going to take some testing and working out.Not sure why your searchboxes changed? Mine is still doing it.
There isn't a solved button here, but we will sometimes manually change the thread title to show that it's been solved or explained.
As I'm not sure the charater cut-off has been solved I'll change the title to add the second query about new style Firefox cookies and add 'Explained'. -

His computer also had some peculiar strings for the cookie titles (only in the left pane), which had %25's and %26's rendered, and other usually hidden characters, that weren't being rendered...
Are you meaning similar to this with the up-arrows and %'s?
That's simply the new Firefox 'Total Cookie Protection' that was introduced recently; first in Firefox version 85 for Supercookies, and now in version 86.0 for all cookies:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/02/23/total-cookie-protection/It means that if you use Firefox there are now more cookies, each website you visit has it's own 'cookie jar' - which can make things more difficult when working out which 'Cookies to keep'.
(I suspect that Chrome and other browsers will soon be following suit with similar 'cookie jars').
See this post from another user who did some experimenting with keeping cookies in this new Firefox:

Hopefully that new registry entry will be whitelisted in the next CCleaner update and no longer show.
In the meantime you can always whitelist it yourself.
When it shows in the scan results simply right-click on it and 'Add to exclusion list'. -
CCleaner Browser is Chromuim based so you should just add the extension as you would with Chrome browser, see this post:
-
Ignore it, it is meant to be there and if you remove it then Windows will just put it straight back again.
See this earlier thread about it:

The icon partialy covers the first character for me, but it is readable unless the first character happens to be an 'i'.
Probably just needs the size/position of the searchbox(es) adjusting. I've flagged it up to the staff.

(Except the above quote wasn't me replying...)
A thousand apologies.
I seem to have edited your post instead of quoting it.
I could blame technical reasons from the forum moderator options, I could blame my disability causing lack of concentration - But no excuses - I made an error, sorry about that.

It can happen that you lose settings if you uninstall/reinstall.
You could use Options>Advanced> Save all settings to INI file.
As part of helping here I will often do uninstalls/reinstals, and do other unusual things to the settings.
So I keep a backup of the ccleaner.ini file that I can copy/paste back into the CCleaner folder to get my preferred settings back. -
Two things CCleaner start at boot and stay running in the background, either one will put a CCleaner icon in the System Tray.
Neither of them take up many resources.- Options>Updates>Keep CCleaner Updated automatically - Checks on boot, and then every 12 hrs, for a new version of CCleaner.
- Options>Smart Cleaning - Monitors for junk building up and cleans it when it reaches a set level, and/or monitors for a browser being closed and then cleans the browser leftovers.
There is also Options>Settings>'Launch the CCleaner app window each time the computer starts'.
That runs a clean on startup and then closes, it doesn't remain running in the background. You will briefly see a flashing icon in the System Tray while it is cleaning on start. -
As said above this particular registry entry is for future use by Windows version 21H1.
(Although some things are using it now).Some components of 21H1 are already on your computer, but not all of them will be there yet.
Some are already there but are hidden from you by Windows itself.They will only be fully activated when the update to version 21H1 is 'Enabled' by Microsoft.
It's simply the way that Microsoft are doing updates by downloading things in a gradual fashion and then 'Enabling' them when the time is right.
They are doing it that way so that the 'Enablement' is quicker than downloading a new version all at once. -
I've changed the wording of that post a bit. (Just in case you are going to stick it in front of a judge).

CCleaner will not delete any .doc or .pfd files unless the user specifically tells it to do so by setting an 'Include' for them.
An Include can be for specific files or for certain filetypes, in certain directories.
Wildcards can be used in includes to remove certain filetypes or all files in certain directories.It is an advanced option, and does take a bit of knowledge to set up correctly.
So whilst the court is correct that it is 'possible' that CCleaner could delete such files on a scheduled clean that deletion could only happen at the instruction of the user by both setting up Includes for the files and setting up a Scheduled clean.
The user would have to have previously set the 'Includes' to delete those particular filetypes, from those particular directories, which would then be run on the schedule.That's not something that could reasonably happen by accident.
See these articles about including files to be cleaned, and setting up cleaning Schedules.
https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048231491-Select-files-and-folders-to-clean-with-CCleaner-for-Windows#using-the-include-window--0-5Again as Nergal says we are (knowledgable) users here not lawyers, but the above is how Includes and Scheduled cleaning work in CCleaner.

That is still not clear, we will have to wait for Google to clarify just how it will work.
Non è ancora chiaro, dovremo aspettare che Google chiarisca come funzionerà.

I've edited the text colour in the box to black so that it's now visible in both themes.
(Not great in dark mode, but visible). -
In general terms:
An app that has been shutdown has to reload completely from start the next time you use it.
An app that has been hibernated reloads as it was when you hibernated it, which means it reloads faster.No one is sure just how app hibernation will work in Android 12 but this gives some information (Sorry there doesn't seem to be a page in Italian).
n termini generali:
Un'app che è stata arrestata deve ricaricarsi completamente dall'inizio la prossima volta che la usi.
Un'app che è stata ibernata si ricarica come quando l'hai ibernata, il che significa che si ricarica più velocemente.Nessuno è sicuro di come funzionerà l'ibernazione delle app su Android 12, ma questo fornisce alcune informazioni (Spiacenti, non sembra esserci una pagina in italiano).

You can't see that text in the box in the default forum theme, it's white on white.
Switch to default theme to see what I mean.For others using default theme what should be showing in the address bar is:
edge://settings/system

I've flagged this for a member of staff to look at.
In the meantime you may be best contacting support by email, using support@ccleaner.com

I believe that Avast Secure Browser can take some time to fully close, so if you try to clean immediately after closing it then it may still be running and still closing itself.
That could explain why you are only seeing it "every so often", you are being quicker to clean or the browser is being slower to close on those occasions.
Wait a bit longer and try again.Or possibly you have the browser set to run in the background after closing it?
Look in the browser settings for "Continue running background apps when Avast Secure Browser is closed" and turn it off.As for why CCleaner can't force it closed when asked to:
If you also have Avast AV then that has a self-defence module to stop anything from forcing Avast apps to close.
That may be what is preventing CCleaner from force closing the background tasks for the Browser.
If that is the case then you could try disabling the self-defence module from the AvastUI > Settings > Troubleshooting.
Although it seems a bit heavy handed to turn off that protection just to be able to occasionally force close the browser. -

I trust the ccleaner team. When they think it might be good and helpfull I use it.
That's your choice of course.
You may be interested in the latest thinking on the registry cleaner from the CCleaner team:

'Us' is computer users in general, or at least those users who know about the registry.
Did you actually read that Microsoft article?
Deleting leftover entries after an uninstall is one of the valid uses for a registry cleaner, but unless they are very unusual then they are not slowing down your machine and can be left there.
Anyone who claims that a registry cleaner will free up space and/or speed up your computer is telling porkies. It may have helped with Win 7 or earlier but things move on. -
Again -
That registry entry "SpeechRuntimetime.exe" is new to Windows and is needed by Windows, which is why Windows keeps putting it back if you remove it.
It is nothing to do with anything that you may have uninstalled, it is a part of Windows.
See this for more info on what it is, (and why you shouldn't be using the registry cleaner with Windows 10 unless you have a problem to fix).
See also the post by Dave CCleaner which follows that one and explains CCleaner's current policy on using the Registry Cleaner.

@DPlaat Keep coming back to the forum to see answers.
You can also set up notifications to email you when there is an answer, if you need help with that ask and we can cover it.That registry entry is new and is needed by Windows, which is why Windows keeps putting it back if you remove it.

I think it may have something to do with the latest windows update.
In your particular case this may be something different/new.
It may be due to recent changes in Edge Chromium.
Check if you have 'Startup Boost' enabled, (edge://settings/system) and try turning it off if you have.
QuoteTo improve Microsoft Edge startup speed, we have developed a feature called startup boost. Startup boost keeps the browser running in the background ....

They do a check everytime you run Health Check - but will only show something if they find something that needs attention.
You can do the checks yourself if you want to see more about they are looking at on your machine.
Go to 'Tools>Software Updates' - that's the same as 'Privacy' - it will tell you that your apps are up to date, if you click on 'Up-to-date Programs' it will tell you what programmes it is checking on your machine.
Go to 'Tools>Startup' - that's the same as 'Speed' - it will show you 4 tabs of things that are set to start automatically (Yes or No) when you turn on the computer.
If you are not sure what those are then leave them alone and let Health Check decide which are not needed.
