There have been a few reports of this. Are you using the new Edge Chromium? If so then try the fix here: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/56994-update-freezes/?tab=comments#comment-315738

The latest CCleaner version, released yesterday, now has a switch included for turning off Edge preloading:

@hoodini it certainly doesn't look right does it? What happens if you carry on and click the 'Make it Better'? ('Make it better', doh! Have we got a childrens nanny writing that stuff, or is it the kiddies themselves?)

That sounds as if the the ones that won't connect are having their connection blocked by the router. (Not sure from your posts if that's wifi or ethernet). It would seem to have different firewall rules set for wifi and ethernet?

That sounds like a user permissions issue, check what is different in the main user permissions to the other users.

Offering downloads of software before it is officially released is not reputable behaviour in anybodys book, and it's certainly not 'impeccable'. (Impeccable - In accordance with the higest standards; faultless).

Whilst it can tell you what is taking up the space it can't tell if you want it to take up that space or not. Mine shows the files, but obviously only I know if I want them or not. Are you seeing something different?

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

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.

@zoa Previous versions can be found at the official distribution partner site, Filehippo. https://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

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: https://windowsreport.com/class-not-registered-windows-10/

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

"out of luck" Watch the rush as everyone goes local account, and deletes their MS account.

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.

It will depend on the size of the drive that you are recovering files to. You shouldn't recover to the drive they were deleted from as that could/would overwrite what you are trying to recover. Of course the more you do the longer it will take.

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).
