Why is the driver update option not functioning properly?
redwolfe_98 replied to cterry877's topic in Driver Updater
have you updated ccleaner to build 6.23? if not, try that. -
Not cleaning Edge and Chrome cookies
redwolfe_98 replied to Jeff M's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
i saw where someone posted that that issue has been resolved with ccleaner build 6.23, so i went ahead and installed it, and i have not noticed its erroneously flagging browser-extensions as cookies, as build 6.22 did. -
here is the webpage for "breachguard," if you are interested in purchasing a license for it: https://www.avast.com/en-us/breachguard#pc

i agree with andavari that, with a SSD, you don't need to use "wipe free space." i also agree with andavari that you should use a tool from the manufacturer to erase data on a harddrive/SSD, if that is what you want to do. personally, i always wipe a hardrive/SSD before doing a "clean" install of windows. (with a SSD, that happens instantly) i don't use "wipe free space." i believe that there is too much of a risk of something going wrong, if you do that.

to find the most up-to-date driver for your intel network adapter, do a google-search for "intel network adapter I217-V": https://www.google.com/search?q=intel+network+adapter+I217-V which leads to: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/70831/intel-ethernet-connection-i217v/downloads.html

Date not showing in windows. CCleaner ?
redwolfe_98 replied to JLivingstonSG's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
i always have the taskbar set to use small buttions so i only see the time, there. not the date. i check the date by clicking on the time, there, which opens a window, showing the date. -
try going to "tools" and run the software-updater from there and see if that fixes the health check problem.

Not cleaning Edge and Chrome cookies
redwolfe_98 replied to Jeff M's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
in the past, sometimes i would hear people tell others not to use ccleaner for cleaning firefox but it has never been a problem for me. just make sure to untick the option for removing "site preferences." running ccleaner 6.22 did not remove my brower-extensions of any of the settings that i had for them. i don't think that there is any cleaning of browser-extensions. i also rolled back to ccleaner 6.21. -
try going to ccleaner's "tools" and run the software-updater from there. some people have said that doing that fixes the problem with "health check" where it won't download software-updates.

Not cleaning Edge and Chrome cookies
redwolfe_98 replied to Jeff M's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
yes. ccleaner 6.22 is just erroneously listing some browser-extensions as being cookies. it is a bug in ccleaner 6.22. -
Norton folder in program data folder after updating WTF
redwolfe_98 replied to WtfMan!!!'s topic in CCleaner Help Requests
in ccleaner's "options"/"cookies," i am seeing what is shown in the picture. i wasn't seeing that, before installing ccleaner 6.22. i am not seeing any "extensions" added to either firefox or the MS edge browser, on my computer. i am assuming that they are hidden. -
Norton folder in program data folder after updating WTF
redwolfe_98 replied to WtfMan!!!'s topic in CCleaner Help Requests
at first i was thinking that ccleaner wouldn't install anything norton but then i remembered that ccleaner (avast) was bought by the same company that owns norton. the "performance optimizer" is suppose to shut down processes that run in the background, that are not needed, but now, with performance optimizer's running in the background, the only process that is not needed, and needs to be shut down, is the performance optimizer itself. -
ccleaner typically removes cookies but you can set it to save the cookies that you want to save. browsers also can be set to remove cookies and to save the cookies that you want to save. also, these days, browsers have "tracking protection" that blocks cookies. not all cookies, but some cookies. google is working on ending the use of all cookies but we will have to see how that works out. cookies are no big thing. as i said, you can use settings to save the cookies that you want to be saved but, if they get deleted, they are easily replaced.
