[v5.10.5373 slow to launch]

To minimize program opening delays as much as possible when I used Panda Free Antivirus I changed a configurable delay setting in it to the absolute minimum which was 10 seconds (can't remember what it is exactly but it's nestled in the settings), since it would commonly cause some programs to take a very long time to open. I wonder if antivirus with cloud scanning capabilities (and most have that ability now) could adversely effect users if the cloud server was slow, or down.

This has not solved the problem for me.  Still have the same issue.  My windows 10 notebook I just got does the same thing.  As my desktop.  I also have a win7 computer (older Dell) and it doesn't have the issue. What is going on with this???

 

I'm the OP of this thread and have since found and shared a couple of workarounds, and a working solution in post #62.

 

Since making CCleaner an exception in my AntiVirus (Windows Defender) I have had no problem with the delayed launching of CCleaner.

 

See also Andavari's comment in post #65.

 

Have you tried making CCleaner an exception in whatever AntiVirus you are using?

 

(Obviously the Piriform Devs can't make changes to your AV, you have to do it yourself).

Neither of what you suggested made any difference. Same problem.  Glad it worked for you though. This is really annoying.

What is the issue with the delayed start?  Why doesn't the DEV's even address this?  How long do we need to keep this thread going for it to get some attention?

 

 

Why can't we get some help here?

[Win 10 - MS Edge Not Cleaned]

 Same problem here also.

It could be that yours is a similar but different issue then?

 

The one I (and others) have been having is not with the internet, but with the user account control when using an Admin account.

(I had checked this by disconnecting and connecting to the internet whilst investigating and it made no difference).

 

I would still try making CC an exception in whatever AV/firewall you are using to see if it cures your delay problem

[Delayed Startup (free version) Win7 Home/ Win8.1 Pro]

I googled this before and read of others having issues such as when clicking the Ccleaner icon it takes some time for the app to start. Both OS I posted in title are affected for me anyway.

 

The delay is approx. 20 - 30 seconds on both OS.

 

I read of what the MOD suggested in each thread. http://forum.piriform.com/?showtopic=44723

 

Click active monitoring, uncheck skip user access control warning, run with highest priority,  etc...

 

I still have this issue no matter how far back I install a version and I mean I have old version saved on my computer.

 

Is there a fix for this yet?

 

* So far I redirected the shortcut to open the 32-bit version of Ccleaner and it opens a separate process in windows (an additional Ccleaner icon appears on task bar) even though I point the shortcut to 32bit version it launches 64bit version of Ccleaner. 
This does help with the delay but would like to know the fix for this.

Put this here in advance: Running - Win7 SP1 Home Premium 64bit & Win8.1 Pro 64bit , Intel i5 2700k (sandy bridge) Asrock P67 Extreme 4,  Sandisk 240GB SSD, 8GB Ram.  

 

Again tried all suggestions on the above link to forum thread and no work around other than what I mentioned in the asterisk * above

 

Thanks for the help

[CCleaner cleans slow]

I used ccleaner for years and now it is running real slow.  It seems something has slowed down its process.  It now takes twice as long to clean.

My software and hardware are the same.  Using Win7HomePremium SP1.

 

My HD is only 320GB.

 

CCleaner never took more than 10 seconds.  I have enabled in IE 11 options: empty temp internet files when browser is closed and still does nothing.

 

What happened?
