The .reg file I posted above I've tested and it works on Win10 Home, i.e.; import the .reg file (perhaps reboot although I don't know if that's necessary). Then launch CCleaner, and it no longer will have the pop-up dialog complaining about Edge.
Edit:
Those registry keys don't exist, which is what the .reg file I supplied will create.
Just applied latest Microcrap patches & fixes? on my Win10 Home version and did get the popup. The initial instructions CCleaner provides should be changed to point to this post as the registry keys don't exist. I used the copy/paste into notepad, saved the .reg file and imported the new entries into the registry. CCleaner then worked and cleaned all of the crud MS wanted to keep on my system. No reboot was necessary. Good job by CCleaner - best $20 I've spent.
