[v5.10.5373 slow to launch]

Yes, I was just looking into that after reading that SKIPUAC used the scheduler.

 

The action is "C:\Programme Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" $(Arg0)

 

I'm not sure what that argument should be?

Or whether that should be pointing to CCleaner64.exe?

 

EDIT

Think I'll try changing it to point at -64.exe and see if that does the trick.

(Trouble is that to replicate the problem I have to do a reboot as it only happens the first time).

[v5.10.5373 slow to launch]

Mmmm,

 

Turning off SKIPUAC resulted in the Windows pop up asking for permission to let CC make changes to the computer.

 

CC did launch quickly when confirmed though.

 

Turning SKIPUAC back on brings the slow launch problem back.

 

Looks like the account check is causing the problem then.

Not sure why it should suddenly start happening with this version update, but who knows what the coders have changed.

 

Oh, well.

I suppose I'll either change the user account control settings in windows, roll back to the previous CC version, or just put up with the initial launch delay until the next CC update and hope that fixes it.

 

Thanks for the help.

[v5.10.5373 slow to launch]

Some more info may help:

* What version of Windows are you using?

* What antivirus and anti-malware are you using?

Already posted in OP - Win10 64-bit.

AV is Windows Defender, plus weekly scans with Defender, SAS, and MBAM

 

CC activie monitoring is off.

 

SKIPUAC was on, will turn it off and see what happens. (Will need a reboot to replicate the problem).

 

As I say I have made no changes other than updating to v5.10.5373 last Friday.

 

To repeat this only happens the first time I run CC in a session, after that it opens quickly as normal.

[v5.10.5373 slow to launch]

The latest CC free version, v5.10.5373 (64-bit) is verrrry slowwww to launch.

Doesn't matter if I double click the icon, or right click and select run.

Both are taking 10 to 15 seconds before the CCleaner window opens.

This only happens the first time I open CC in a session, If i've opened it (slowly) once, close it, then open again, it comes up as normal (in about 1/4 second).

 

Windows 10 64-bit.
Intel Celeron CPU N2840 @ 2.16GHz, 4.0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics.

[Microsoft Security Essentials continuously needing a scan problem]

In Win7 'Windows Defender' is only an anti-spyware programme, which is why you have MSE as well.

From Win8 onward 'Windows Defender' became a full anti-virus programme, so you don't need the separate MSE.
(But they kept the 'Windows Defender' name rather than MSE which can cause a bit of confusion).

As Andavari says you need to make MSE an exception so that CC doesn't clean it's logfiles.

What is happening at the moment is that you are cleaning out the file that tells MSE when it last did a scan.
As it can't find this information it keeps thinking it has never done a scan and so tells you it needs to do one.

I had a similar thing after updating to Win10, with Defender always wanting to do a scan.

I just unticked Defender in the 'applications' list so that it's log doesn't get cleared and the problem went away.

[C-Cleaner closing other apps]

Say YES and close it, or wait a while before running CC.

 

When you close Chrome, or any other browser or software, it dissapears off screen but is still running in the background for a while saving settings, history, cookies etc. (the stuff you want CC to clear).

 

Saying yes to that message forces it to close straight away, similar to stopping it with the task manager.

[Not clearing the recently visited sites in edge browser.]

Basically - does it realy matter - are we just being a bit OCD?

 

So we've got a few logfiles and cookies hanging about for now, so what.

 

If you are that short of discspace that a few files is a problem then it's time you got a bigger disc.

[Not clearing the recently visited sites in edge browser.]

I posted a (partial) easy solution to this Edge cleaning problem the other day.

 

Take a look at this link:

[I found a Solution to cleaning Edge files]

OK, after applying the above CCleaner still skips Edge files now and again, presumably because somthing is still accessing its database.

But it does clean the Edge files now and again.

 

MMM. having trouble attaching the screenshot - double click it to enlarge.

[I found a Solution to cleaning Edge files]

So I was seeing the same as others - Edge files were just showing as 'skipped' in CCleaner.

I have managed to get CCleaner to clean out the Edge files; heres how:

Opened up edge.
Clicked the three dots, top right
Clicked Settings
Clicked clear browsing data 'Choose what to clear'
Selected all options
went back to settings
Clicked Advanced settings 'View advanced settings'
Turned them all off except - block pop-ups, Send Do Not Track requests, and SmartScreen filter
Exited from edge.

CCleaner now cleans Edge files for me.

 

EDIT

It may be that only the 'Choose what to clear' bit is required.

I'm not entirely sure that the Advanced Settings step is needed; but thats what I did and I'm not going back to change them again.

 

I usually use Firefox anyway.

[win 10 and reg win keys..]

My 2$

 

I believe that these two reg. entries are connected to the cloud storage "OneDrive". (although I could be wrong I haven't dug that deeply).

 

OneDrive is embeded in the Windows 10 OS.

Even if you turn OneDrive off as a default storage option it is still there as part of the OS, and so will recreate these reg. entries if you delete them.

 

This is not a bug, just something new in Windows 10.

 

Make them an exception and you won't be bothered by them.

 

I expect the developers will make them a general exception in the next CCleaner release.
