Hello bradavon, So far, the battery life of my ARM device is phenomenal compared to its Intel counterparts. Even though the reviews for the Snapdragon 835 was criticized for its speed running Windows 10 on ARM, I find it nimble. I believe the Microsoft SQ1 processor Qualcomm built for Microsoft for the Surface Pro X is a derivative of the Snapdragon 835. It runs both Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe Acrobat 2017 smoothly. There are only a couple of programs that I have run into that are not compatible with Windows 10 for ARM; the Western Digital (WD) Discovery software to tap into my WD NAS, and the ActivClient software that I use with my Smart Card to access some work website. At some point, I believe a lot of these issues will be worked out as Microsoft expands into the ARM environment. They have been there for a long time with Windows Phone, and even earlier ARM devices. But it seems as if only recently that Microsoft is finally bringing all their assorted flavors of Windows together, opposed to working independently. Do you have the new Surface Pro X, or are you in the market for a new device? Joe

Hello bradavon, Like the Surface Pro X, the HP ENVY x2 has the "Windows Hello Face" sign-in capability. I never set this feature up under Windows Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. Only the "Windows Hello PIN" feature. With "Windows Services" selected under Registry of CCleaner, I only know that it would corrupt the registry key related to the Windows Hello PIN feature. Since they are both sign-in features, I can only assume that it would have the same effect. I agree with nukecad's comment above. For me, I am not afraid of tinkering with the registry and starting over with a fresh factory image. That is the case with how I discovered the "Windows Services" was the culprit for corrupting the sign-in registry key. When this happened, I started over with a clean slate, and kept checking the boxes in CCleaner until I reproduced the issue again. Then started over with a fresh factory image. In hindsight, I should have backed up the registry, and just reverted! However, the HP ENVY x2 is not my main computer. I picked it up on eBay for a fair price to learn Windows 10 on ARM. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to try. I hope I answered your question! Joe

Hello, I have an HP ENVY x2 Detachable 12-e091ms with the Snapdragon 835 ARM processor running Windows 10 Pro (1909) that I installed CCleaner, v5.65.7632. CCleaner works well on Windows 10 for ARM64, with one exception. Under Registry Cleaner, "deselect" "Windows Services". With Windows Services selected on Windows 10 for ARM64, it would corrupt the Windows Hello PIN login feature. I am not sure if it will corrupt the Windows Hello Face feature, since I have it turned off. Under Custom Clean, I have all options selected under Windows and Applications with the exception of Wipe Free Space, just because it takes so long. And under Registry, all the options selected with the exception of the aforementioned Windows Services. Piriform/CCleaner needs to look into this issue as Windows 10 on ARM gains popularity. Hope this helps! Joe
