[CCleaner Not Backing Up Registry Before Cleaning]

To Nukecad - I followed your link to the support.microsoft web site about their recommendation to never clean the registry except as a last resort.  I never heard this before and was astounded by this and the fact that I thought this was one of the major features and benefits of CCleaner.   So, now you are saying I should never clean the registry as general maintenance a few times a year?   I thought cleaning the Registry via CCleaner would improve performance?   Guess not.

Do other people have any comment about this?

I guess the next time I run CCleaner, I just manually backup up the registry using Windows "Create a Restore Point", then run CCleaner and see if it asks me to do a backup the next time.   BUT, CCleaner should have asked me to do a backup today and it never did.

I just downloaded and installed CCleaner Pro (have used it before on other PC's).   I made sure that the Advanced Option of "Show Prompt to Backup Registry Issues" was checked.  

Went to clean my Registry and it did not give me a prompt to back up the registry.  After cleaning the registry I searched my PC to find backups (looking for "CCleaner Registry*" folder) ….. there were none that I could find.  .  Also looked for all *.reg files created after yesterday.   (Using program called Agent Ransack).   I could not find any CCleaner registry backup files.  Pretty sure that CCleaner creates files ending in .reg …. correct?

Does anybody know what I might be doing wrong or has anybody else had this problem?

I am using Windows 10, version 1809

Thanks,
