  1. Sorry I was missunderstanding you, I thought you wanted the French not English.

     

    Here is a link to setting languages to keep a Mac

    http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner-for-mac/ccleaner-for-mac-settings/setting-which-languages-to-keep

     

    It appears that the Mac OSx will clear out any languages you have not selected, just leaving you with the PCs default language.

     

    You may need to reinstall CCleaner to get them back again.

  2. Maybe it is but that is not the main problem.

     

    So what is the main problem?

     

    You only mention the translation errors in your post.

    If there are more than the one you mentioned then a list may help the developers to correct them.

     

    Are you are refering to not having a dropdown menu (and other options) as show in in the article?

    That is simply because the article shows the options for  the Windows version.

    The Mac version has different options. (Because it's a different operating system).

  3. Hi merlin,

     

    You are going to have to give some more information before anyone can work out just what you are seeing.

     

    To start with:

    What OS are you using? (Xp, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10).

    Where are the duplicates found? (Say you have just updated to 10, or if Microsoft has prepared your computer for an OS update, then there will be a lot of duplicate system files  on the C:/ for a while).

     

    If you only point to one folder then I would expect that it will only check for duplicates in that folder, it won't check if the files are duplicated elsewhere.

  4. Glad you took my joke the right way Willy2.

     

     It seems to be a feature of any new OS, Browser, or Software release/upgrade these days.

     

    A day or two after the release the web is full of the 'tinfoil hats' telling everyone how much this new thing is spying on them.

    I remember the same hoo-ha with XP, Vista, 7, & 8, Chrome, Firefox, AVG, and Avast. The list just goes on and on.

     

    Usually, as with Win10, most of this 'spying' is settings that can be turned off in a few minutes.

    One of the first things I do after installing anything new is to go through the settings, especially the advanced settings, decide what is not necessary for it to be doing and turn it off.

     

    As mta points out, if you tell your PC that you are on a metered broadband connection it will stop Windows 'phoning home' and doing things automatically.

     

    The Windows 10 Automatic Updates don't realy bother me, but there again I always shut down after use.

    This means that although Windows will download updates while I am up and running it doesn't install them if they need a restart.

    Instead it schedues an install/restart for an 'idle' time (which you can define) and of course because I am shut down, or occasionaly active, at that time it can't do it and reschedules again.

    (I believe I have read, but don't quote me, that it will do 5 reschedules and then install on the next boot).

    So its only when I go and click on the 'install now' that it actually installs the update.

    This give me time to check out the KB and see if there are any problems being reported.

  5. I've spent quite a few hours to figure out this issue when I installed windows 10 back then, my start menu would break everytime and the cause was that I had Microsoft Edge cleaning options selected. I am pretty sure if you untick cleaning options for Microsoft Edge your start menu won't break anymore.

    That's interesting to know.

     

    Just to clarify; do you mean the cleaning options in Edge itself, or in CCleaner?

  6. It was probably an expiring redirect.

     

    As a mod on another forum (vBullitin based) I occasionaly move threads from one forum to another.

     

    When I move a thread there are options to leave a redirect from the original location, and you can set these to expire after a set time (no redirect, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, permanent).

     

    This is partly so that anyone who has bookmarked (or subscribed to) the original location will be redirected to the new location.

    It does leave the same thread showing in both locations until the redirect expires, but there is only one thread in reality.

     

    As I say that's with vBulletin but I assume it's the same with IPBoard.

  7. I have been using CCleaner daily, first with XP, then Win 8.1, and since last July with Win 10, as have many others, and have never had a problem like this.

     

    Indeed it is hard to see how CCleaner could be causing this problem in normal use, unless you somehow deleted a vital registry entry.

    There again I have used the registry cleaner, usually after large Windows upgrades/updates, and again never had this or any other problem.

     

    I still believe that this is a Windows problem rather than a CCleaner problem.

    It may be down to your system architecture, particularly if you have any kind of custom build.

    eg. there were a lot of problems with Nvidia graphics cards when Win 10 first launched.

     

    If it were a CCleaner problem then I would expect to see a lot more people shouting about it here.

     

    As there are a lot of reports and articles online about this Start Menu problem, and presumably not everyone is using CCleaner, it would suggest that it is your Win 10 installation itself that is the problem rather than any particular software.

     

    EDIT

    Just a thought here, when your start menu button stops working have you tried right clicking on it?

    This should bring up an alternative context menu.

     

    Anybody else have any suggestions?

  8. Are you doing a regular clean or a registry clean?

     

    Having said that it's probably due more to your Windows 10 install or a Windows update being not quite installed correctly, rather than CCleaner or any other software.

     

    There are known problems with the start menu on some installations of Win 10 (and 8, 8.1).

    If you google "windows 10 start button not working" you will get plenty of results and fixes for the problem.

     

    Try reading this for a start, which gives some step by step instructions to fix these start menu problems:

  9. It does seem to be just with IPboard forums, I don't have any problems with vBulletin or XenForo based forums.

     

    And just for interest I tried in I.E.11 as well as FFx, same problem with the greyed out paste icons.

    (I didn't try Edge, don't like the thing).

     

    Oh well, it's not that much of a deal, I was just wondering.

  10. Mmmm.
     
    Puting it into BB code mode on this laptop greys out all of the menu icons.
    BUT it does give a cut/paste context menu on right click so you can paste from there.
    (The cut/paste context menu is not usually available in 'normal' mode either, unless you have some existing text higlighted. It usually gives the browser context menu. Strange one that).

    Also if you click the BB code on then off again the paste icons become available for the one click.
     
    Still easier to use ctrl+v, I'll just keep doing that.
     
    I'll put it down as an IPboard thing, or a FFx thing although it doesn't affect me on vB forums, was just wondering if anyone had found out which browser setting it was talking about.
    May do some playing around with the browser settings to see if I can find it.

  11. Hope someone can help a slight anoyance I am having when making a post or reply here. (and other IPboard driven forums).

     

    The paste options in the editor toolbar are greyed out, so I am unable to paste from the clipboard.

    (I know I can easily work around this using ctrl+v, but it's still a bit of a niggle).

     

    If I then go to 'more options' or 'preview post' the paste icons become available for one click only.

    If I click the paste icon at that time a small window opens that I can then paste my text into.

     

    This small window informs me-

    "Because of your browser security settings, the editor is not able to access your clipboard data directly. You are required to paste it again in this window."

     

    So can anyone tell what browser setting is causing this behaviour?

    Or is this just a glitch in the IPboard software?

     

    I'm using Firefox 44.0, Win 10 home 64-bit.

     

    Thanks.

  12. It could be something to do with the 'Snap' settings in Win 10 that puts new windows at the sides or corners of the desktop?

     

    I think you may have inadvertantly dragged it into a corner once over, so now it opens there by default.

     

    Try dragging it back to the middle and then closing it. (You may have to turn the snap off first).

  13. Well my name isn't Al, but I'll comment anyway. :)

     

    "formulating our product roadmaps"

     

    Do you mean looking at your business plans? Or are you bringing out a sat-nav application?

     

    First suggestion- try using plain English and not corporate buzz-speak, more people will understand you, especialy those who don't have English as a first language.

  14. Your slow to launch problem could be the one reported here:
    http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=44723

    It seems to be a problem with the User Account Control, especially in Windows 10.

    It only happens on the first launch, or after a Windows Defender definition update.

    (If you close CCleaner and open it a second time it comes up instantly).

    As reported in that thread linked above I found a few workarounds, (one of which was to turn on active monitoring in CCleaner).

    What finally cured it completely for me was making CCleaner an exception in Windows Defender.
    I have had no problems with the delayed launch since I did that.

    Open Defender > settings > scroll down to 'Add an exclusion' > Exclude a folder > browse to the CCleaner folder (usually in C:/Programme files/) and exclude it.

    If you use another anti-virus instead of Defender then try making CCleaner an exception in that.
