  1. CCleaner shouldn't touch Quick Access - but I'm thinking that you are actually meaning something different. 'Quick Access' is a folder of shortcuts, you can pin other folders in there so that you can get to them quickly in File explorer. It's also known as 'Frequent Folders'. You can't pin files there, only folders. I suspect that you are actually meaning the list of recently used documents and files. Those lists can be cleared by Custom Clean. The files are not deleted, the files are still there, just not in that list anymore. The settings to control that are 'Recent Documents' and 'Other Explorer MRUs' (MRU = Most Recently Used). Just to be sure - you are using Custom Clean and not Health Check? Those ticks/unticks only apply to Custom Clean, Health Check does it's own thing. EDIT- Just for completeness there are usually similar lists of recently accessed files if you right-click the icons of applications on the taskbar. The setting for those is also in the above screenshot 'Taskbar Jump Lists'.
  2. The fact that you are getting different SSL_Errors indicates that something is awry with your security settings. SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG can be a known issue in Firefox, most of the solutions you see on the web involve disabling some part of your security rather than actually finding out just what is causing it for you. Things to try: Check your systems date and time, check you are in the corect time zone. (Seems simple but errors like this can be caused by your CMOS battery being drained or playing up). Try using a private Window in Firefox. (from the hamburger menu or Ctrl+shift+p) If you are using other than Windows Defender then try temporarily disabling your Antivirus. (Which antivirus are you using?) In Firefox Settings>General>Network settings what is your proxy access set to ? PS. Like Hazelnut I have no idea just what "PKiDDiTB.exe" is, I'd stick with something well know while trying things out. As you say CCleaner was being blocked then stick with trying to download that while testing.
  3. 'Defragging' can actually increase FILE fragmentation in some cases. That's because what Defraggler (and most other defragmenters) do by default is not just file defragmenting, they do an 'Consolidation' of the disc as well - and that consolidation is what can fragment files. When Defraggler reports a percentage fragmented that is the File fragmentation, not the whole disc fragmentation. Yes it can be confusing if you are not aware that 2 different things are going on. It gets further confused by the fact that consolidation can also legitimately be called 'disc defragmenting' (as opposed to 'file defragmenting'). What most people think of as 'defragmenting' is actually 'disc defragmenting' ie. just the consolidation bit. That's because they are used to seeing the little boxes flash colours and move about on the drive map when defragmenting, that is actually the consolidation part. (PS. You may have noticed that the built in Windows defragmenter no longer shows a drive map, that's to try and avoid that confusion). 'Defragmentation' proper is 'file defragmenting' and means getting you files into one piece each, so they can be read slightly faster. 'Consolidation' is also commonly called 'drive defragmenting' and means getting your files into the smallest possible space on the disc, which may (will) actually fragment the files themselves to 'fit them in' to the smallest space. By default Defraggler does some of both, - which will be why your FILE fragmentation went up as it split up the files to optimise the disc space. But you can tell it to do either/or depending on just what you are looking to do. Mayny of us these days tell it to do a 'Files only' defrag, (see below), it's much quicker and it's what is usually wanted with todays larger drives. In your case you want to get your AutoCAD files into one piece each, and at the start of the drive. You may be happy with what you have now got it down to, but could get it down more, and try and get rid of some of those white boxes between the files. I'd tackle that in two stages by doing the following. First do a 'Files only' defrag: Analyze as usual then select either 'View files' or the 'Files list' tab. You will see a list of the fragmented files with checkboxes next to them, click the very top box (next to 'Filename') to check all of them. Now click on 'Defrag Checked' and let it defrag the selected files. (Don't worry if it finishes with a messages that some files couldn't be defragmented, that's pretty normal, they are usually system files which have been used again since you analyzed so Defragler knows to leave them alone because they may have changed, the rest have still been done). Next to move them closer together and try to get rid of the white spaces, (an optimisation but without fragmenting them again). Go to the top menu and select Actions>Advanced>Defrag Freespace DONT select 'Defrag Freespace (allow fragmentation)' that will fragment the files again to try and fit them into the smallest space. Once that has finished, and it may take some time if it's a TB sized backup drive, then your files should be in one piece each and as close together as defraggler can get them without fragmenting them.
  4. Are you saying that you cleaned the cookies but hundreds of them come straight back? If you are then that will be because you have your browser synced. (Putting cookies etc. that you have used on all your machines if they are not already there is what syncing is meant to do). Have a read of this, particularly the bits about syncing:
  5. The one you are missing is in CCleaner: Options>Updates>Keep CCleaner updated automatically. Disable that (as well as Smart Cleaning) if you don't want an icon in the system tray. Automatic Updating and Smart Cleaning run in the background, and so Windows puts an icon in the system tray if either/both are running. "Run ... when you start Windows" doesn't run in the background, it just cleans once and then closes. It does also put an icon in the system tray, but only for seconds while it runs. Blink and you'll miss it.
  6. It's a bug. As it's only a preview thing then they will leave the fix till next months update.
  7. Usually if you purchase a new licence using the same email address then the time remaining on the old will be added to the new, it happens automatically but can take up to a day to happen. However there are a couple of circumstances where it doesn't happen automatically, and this looks like one. As it looks like it's more than 90 days before the old licence expires then you'll need to contact support about getting them merged. Send them an email at support@ccleaner.com asking for a 'licence merge' of the old and new licences.
  8. I've managed to turn it on now, so can see what's happening. And yes, whatever it is supposed to be doing, it's just scanning and then showing a blank window instead of any kind of results A post on another forum has said the same. I've asked the staff about it.
  9. It's supposed to be a preview of a new feature. it was announced in the release notes: https://www.ccleaner.com/knowledge/ccleaner-v5-92-9652 Looks as it if it may not be working for the 'small number' who can see it?
  10. Malwarebytes doesn't normally affect CCleaner. Does your CCleaner run normally apart from this Driver Updater issue? Is this internet block happening when you search for drivers, or when you actually try to update any drivers that have been found? (Do you know if it's a particular driver?). Malwarebytes (or Defender) may not like/trust a particular website that Driver Updater is trying to connect to, in which case it would block that connection. Whilst it's unlikely that is happening, to rule out Malwarebytes as the cause of the block you could try temporarily turning off the RTP modules in Malwarebytes, see below. (Don't forget to turn them back on). But be aware that if it is Malwarebytes blocking the connection then that's probably for a good reason. (Although it could be a false positive). ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Malwarebytes Current version is 4.5.7.186, Update package 1.0.53445, Component package 1.0.1645. Malwarebytes Premium (Pro) always runs Real Time Protection unless you specifically disable it. Malwarebytes can also scan your system and files for anything unusual/nasty - either on an automatic schedule, or if you do a manual scan. (The Free version has no RTP and only does manual scans). Malwarebytes Real Time Protection setttings look like this, these are all turned on - slide the button to the left to turn a module off:
  11. That is in the Registry Cleaner, it would remove that registry entry and not the MRT.exe itself. I'd leave it alone. - In fact the official advice is to leave the Registry Cleaner alone unless you have a specific issue you are trying to fix. See this:
  12. The Browser Plugins tool is not realy something I've used, I managed them in the browser itself, so I hadn't noticed just what was in there these days. Looks like that tool could do with a major update. I'll flag it up, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a quick change.
  13. Brave is a Chromium based browser; do your plugins show up under Chrome?
  14. Good that you found what the popup was.
  15. I don't recognise just what that is - but it isn't CCleaner. It looks like it is some application that is monitoring and showing your internet connection speeds. (The dial and those numbers look like Download/Upload speeds).
  16. When something lets (part of) CCleaner run only once, and then not again unless you reinstall CCleaner, then it's usually an AntiVirus/Firewall doing the blocking. Which AntiVirus are you using and what version is it at? (Version number please, not just 'up to date'). It also helps if we know your Windows version/build and CCleaner version. Having said that, if this happens when you are trying to actually update a driver then it could simply be that the particular server that CCleaner is trying to fetch the update from is not available (at that time). That would show the same 'not connected' error message. But in that case a reinstall shouldn't work either.
  17. Hi, "Run a one-time clean with the custom clean tool on startup" does not put an icon on the taskbar. It simply runs a clean in the background when you startup and then closes. It very briefly puts an icon in the System Tray while it cleans, but it's often that quick that you don't notice it. Are you meaning that you want a CCleaner icon on the Taskbar, or are you meaning you want one in the the System Tray? (The System Tray is the area to the right of the taskbar which contains the Clock, speaker icon, wifi icon, etc). If you are meaning the main Taskbar then: Open CCleaner. Right-Click the icon that appears in the Taskbar. In the menu that pops-up select 'Pin to Taskbar' It will now stay there when you close the CCleaner window. Yours may (will) look different to this but the 'pin' option should still be there: However if you are meaning the system tray: 2 things in CCleaner will run in the background, and so Windows will put an icon in your System Tray if you select either or both: Options>Updates>Keep CCleaner updated automatically. Options>Smart Cleaning>Enable Smart Cleaning There is also the old legacy setting - Options>Advanced>Minimise to system tray. If ticked then that will put an icon in the tray when you minimise the User Interface, it's not realy needed in newer windows versions where you can simply pin CCleaner to the taskbar instead. Registry: I suspect that your registry issue is the 'Speech Runtime' toast notifier? That, (and there are a few others), is needed by Windows and if you remove it then it will always come back. NOTE - We recommend that you don't use the registry cleaner on a regular basis. See this (it's says Win 10 but also applies to 8.1) and the post below it from Dave CCleaner: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/59952-i-get-a-registry-error-on-ccleaner-on-windows-10-i-have-scanned-5-times/#comment-326797
  18. Just to note that since changing that downloads behaviour setting my downloading is back to how I like it. For information the setting is: browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel change it to false if you want the old behaviour. Note that the setting may be removed in some future update, but for now it does the job.
  19. My v5.91 is now taking 1 to 3 seconds to open, - when I first got it it was taking about 8-15 seconds to open. The previous 2 versions were also very slow to open for me. I noticed that mine had speeded up again after I had installed the optional Windows Cumulative Update last week (KB5011543). So I'm figuring that it's a Windows issue slowing down CCleaners opening, probably something in the security suite. If you don't do optional updates then you should get it in the Windows Patch Tuesday updates, which should be 12th April
  20. Open CCleaner go to Options>Advanced tick the 'Save all settings to INI file' CCleaner will immediately create the "CCleaner.ini" file in the same folder where CCleaner is installed. Once you have a "CCleaner.ini" saved in that folder then CCleaner will always use the saved settings that it contains. As long as you keep that setting ticked then CCleaner will update CCleaner.ini each and every time that you change a setting. Note that if you untick that setting then any existing "CCleaner.ini" file will be deleted, so that it doesn't still get used each time you open CCleaner. (If you want to keep a copy of it then rename "CCleaner.ini" to something else before unticking the box, or copy it to a different folder for backup). Export and Import: Once you have a "CCleaner.ini" then you can simply copy it to the CCleaner folder on a different computer to use the same settings with the CCleaner installed on that computer.
  21. I don't know what else to say except that whatever the problem was it was unlikely to have been caused by having an INI file. Nevím, co jiného říct, kromě toho, že ať už byl problém jakýkoli, bylo nepravděpodobné, že by to bylo způsobeno tím, že měl soubor INI.
  22. Misunderstanding. I didn't want to see your settings. I said that if we don't know what settings you couldn't change, then we have no way of knowing why you couldn't change them. Nedorozumění. Nechtěl jsem vidět vaše nastavení. Řekl jsem, že pokud nevíme, jaká nastavení jste nemohli změnit, pak nemáme žádný způsob, jak zjistit, proč jste je nemohli změnit.
  23. Using an INI file does not prevent you from changing the settings, the INI only saves the changes made. I'm afraid that without knowing the settings, it's hard to say more about why you couldn't change them. Použití souboru INI vám nebrání ve změně nastavení, INI pouze uloží provedené změny. Obávám se, že bez znalosti nastavení je těžké říci více o tom, proč jste je nemohli změnit.
  24. What were the 'minor settings changes'? Are you using CCleaner Free? Some settings can only be changed in CCleaner Pro. Jaké byly „drobné změny nastavení“? Používáte CCleaner Free? Některá nastavení lze změnit pouze v CCleaner Pro.
  25. The downloads in Firefox 98 are totally messed up for me at the moment. It's a guessing game when I click on something whether it will open in the associated app, or be saved to the download folder, or in some cases both. (And despite what the Mozilla documentation says , it doesn't always also save files that are opened). There are also issues with setting the associated apps in the first place. From what I'm reading most of this is intentional, it's now putting them in 'Downloads' instead of'\windows\temp' although nobody seems to know why they have changed this behaviour (possibly it's because of an obscure 'drive by' attack method seen in Chrome?). Of course you could just regularly/automatically clear out the downloads folder, but there is often stuff in there that I want to keep for a while. For more issues/solutions see this on AskWoody. (I note that @lmacrihas posted a good overall solution on there - I've just applied it). https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/problem-with-downloading-behavior-in-firefox-98-0/ I don't like messing with FFx's settings for something that may later get 'fixed' anyway. But as this seems to be by design then I don't think it will be.
