I tend to use Windows built in clipping tool these days, it puts clips straight into the clipboard and if you higlight things that goes in the clipboard too.
Then just paste it into the post (right click or ctrl+v)

It is probably something in your firewall settings (anti-virus) that is blocking it.
Try making CCleaner an exception in your AV, or if you have custom firewall settings check what they are blocking.
Health Check is meant for non-technical users. (Think granny who doesn't know anything about computers apart from that she can see the grandkids on Skype).
If you are more technically minded then use Custom Clean which gives more control.
EDIT not sure about the screenshot thing, is that alt+prtscr? I'll have a look when I get back to a computer instead of a phone.

Easy Clean has gone. It's been replaced/updated to Health Check.
So it's your choice of Health Check which does what it does - or Custom Clean for more control over what is to be cleaned or not.

It's not a Piriform product.
Their advertising says "a tool like recuva".
So while I can't comnent on the programme itself, it has nothing to do with Recuca or Piriform.

Previous versions can be found at the official distribution partner site, Filehippo.

It's a Windows error, usually caused by a DLL becoming unregistered for some reason.
You could try uninstalling/reinstalling Speccy to see if it fixes it, or see this article:

Why risk downloading from an unofficial 3rd party anything that has not yet been officially released?
Wait for the official release.

Both sites are reputable sites.
I would hardly call offering a software download before it has been officially released reputable behaviour.As it isn't officially released yet then who knows what may be in those unofficial downloads?

You have replied to a four year old thread.
Please check the date of the last post before replying.
Edge pre-loading of that cache should be resolved in the next CCleaner version due this week.
I will lock this old thread.

Do you mean 'System - Temporary Files'?
If you are then you can run an analysis and double-click on the result for 'System - Temporary Files' and it will display just what files it has found.
If not then please describe more just what you are seeing, a screenshot would help.
CC is pretty safe to use and it isn't unusual to sometimes see a large amount of temporary system files to remove.
In particular a Windows Update may create a lot of temporary files, often 1GB or more. (And it may be a while since the update before you can remove them).If you weren't using CCleaner then Windows would eventually delete them itself.
You might also want to turn on 'Storage Sense' which will remove old Windows files automatically if you are running out of space.
(Windows_menu>Settings>System>Storage). -
It's the only sensible way with todays large disk sizes.
It is not unusual to see that 'aborted' message when defragging files.
It's because something (often Windows Defender) has re-opened the files between you analyzing and actually clicking the defrag button.
You can't defrag files that are open.
The longer it is between analyzing and defragging the more likely it is that you may see the message.It hasn't aborted everything though - The files that were not opened have still been defragged.
Look at the list of files and you should see that most now show only one fragment, they are in one piece.
There will be a few, the 'aborted' ones, that will still show multiple fragments.Do another analyze and it will not find as many fragmented files, if it finds any.
Any that are now still open will not be listed, but you may see the few 'aborted' ones again if they have been closed again, so defrag them again. -
It's a problem with Windows, you have a corrupted recycle bin,
See here for how to fix it:

That can/will happen if a Wipe Free Space is inturrupted unexpectedly, such as by a power failure or unplugging an external drive while it is wiping.
Drive wipes work by filling up the disc (or the 'free' parts of the disc) with one or more files containing random data, (typically X's and Zeros) and then deleting that data.
That way any files that you have previously deleted get overwritten with random data, and so cannot later be recovered by recovery software.Of course if anything should stop the drive wipe before it has deleted the random data that it has written then that random data will remain, taking up space on the disc.
That sounds like what has happened to you, the wipe has been unexpectedly halted and so couldn't remove the random data it had written.
So you just have to remove it yourself now. (You can't simply run the programme again, because it isn't 'free space' anymore it's got random data in it).If you look in File Explorer then you should see one or more files (and/or a folder) with long, apparently random, names on the drive that you were wiping (probably C:) They'll have a creation date of the wipe, and a big file size.
If you delete them the free space should be back. -
No one here suggested reformatting/repartitioning the drive at this stage.
The fact that you have done that and still can't see it suggests that it is something in Windows itself that is not seeing/reporting the drive.
Look again at options 1, 3, 4, and 6 in that link I gave.
Those are all fixes for Windows itself, not any 3rd party tool. -
The two versions are exactly the same, apart from the fact that certain features are not enabled in the free version.
(The coding for the features is still there in the free version, just not enabled).
That is why there is only one installer and not seperate ones for Free and Pro.So if they are acting differently then it's one of those Pro features that you have selected, or you have something setup differently.
Let's see if we can work out what it is.
Firstly, when it stops at 43% what file/folder does it say its working on?
Is that particular entry unticked (or an exclusion) in your free version?For the startup issue.
Do you have 'Run CCleaner when the computer starts' ticked? (Options>Settings).
Do you have smart cleaning enabled, if so what settings do you have ticked? (Options>Smart Cleaning).In the pro version do you have 'apply these updates automatically' selected for product updates? (Options>Updates).

It is not recommended to run the Registry Cleaner on a regular basis, especially with Windows 10.
The way that Win 10 updates every month no registry cleaner can keep up with valid changes to the registry, and may/will remove needed entries.
Registry Cleaning is a special tool used to help fix a 'broken' computer.
Using the Registry Cleaner on a regular basis will not speed up your computer in any way, and may even stop it working properly.We regularly see posts here where someone has 'broken' their computer by using the Registry Cleaner indiscriminately.
It is planned to move the Registry Cleaner into the tools menu to make clearer that it's not something that should be run regularly.
https://ideas.ccleaner.com/roadmapHere is what Microsoft have to say about Registry Cleaners (ie. don't do it, or it's at your own risk):

It's a known issue with Apple Gateway not allowing programmes that are not from the appstore to be installed.

Have you tried the solution(s) in the link that I posted above?
No's 2 and 5 are specific to that particular partitioning software, but the others are general Windows solutions.

Surplus information; once you have Edge Chromium then MS will update it automatcally so why look to a 3rd party?
It's not been pushed out on Windows Update yet, but was fully RTM on 15th January and is included in new Windows installations since then.
If you want it now then you can download it here:

I've just tried it.
Copied an image to a different folder, searched for duplicates in CCleaner which found them, then ticked one of the boxes and deleted one of the duplicates using CCleaner.
All went exactly as expected.If you could give us more details of what you are doing/seeing, and maybe screenshots, we maybe able to work out what your issue is.

I'm not sure why CCleaner isn't removing it.
"Environment Path" is supposed to remove 'Orphaned' path variables, (not empty paths), so maybe some app is still refering to that path meaning that it is not 'orphaned'?
Can you not just delete it from the environment variable editor?
(Which will of course mean that whatever app is refering to it will not be able to find it, or will recreate it when next run).

Cheers, reported to the staff.
(They are online at the moment and would have seen it anyway, but a flag always makes sure).
