@JT1

if you dont want the autoupdater-service -> go to the ccleaner folder -> rename "ccupdater.exe" to for example "ccupdater_old.exe" -> after restart this service should not there... and this background service is deactivated

Thanks for the tip!

I observe that the C:\Program Files\CCleaner folder contents look like this:

... and going back through historical notes I have not seen reference to ccsystem.dll for 12+ years ... possibly dating back to the days when CCleaner was built in VB. Is it possible that you were either running an extremely old CCleaner, or still have remnants of a very old version sitting in that directory?

 

Except for "branding.dll", mine looks exactly the same...….

Thanks for the reply BTW!

I did restart - still no go!

I have used the registry cleaner in the past, but not recently.  Everything else is running as normal

At a stand still now since I can't run, delete (uninstall) or re-install it!
