[Ccleaner opens when closing game.]

Sorry for the absence.  I went on vacation.  I played a game tonight, experienced the issue again, and remembered to check this thread.  I paid attention to it more this time and it does appear to be triggered when Razer Cortex begins its "restoring memory" function.

Hi @KF4UYC @TechCop @reaperules

I am curious if this could be attributed to the automatic update setting of CCleaner that had been mentioned previously, or something such as a scheduled task.

Can you please ensure that all of the update options are disabled in CCleaner, using the following steps?

1. Open CCleaner > click Options > Updates
2. Uncheck "Keep CCleaner updated automatically"
3. Uncheck "Send notifications when there is a new version of CCleaner"

Please also ensure everything in the Options > Smart Cleaning area of CCleaner remains disabled/unchecked.

Additionally, can you please see if this problem persists after disabling the scheduled task(s) associated with CCleaner, using these steps?

1. Open CCleaner > click Tools > Startup
2. Open the "Scheduled Tasks" tab
3. Right-click on the entries associated with CCleaner > click Disable

 

@MeganCCleaner  This appeared to have worked for me.  I did have "Keep CCleaner updated automatically" and I had one scheduled task related to CCleaner.  I disable both.  I then retried all 3 of the games mentioned in my previous post as a test.  Razer Cortex did its thing and CCleaner did NOT open as described before.  Yay, I suppose.  I am not sure how this will affect CCleaner for me but at least you know where to start.

Some games embed a web browser when they run, so closing the game may trigger the same behaviour as if you had closed a browser.  What is your experience on closing one of these games vs closing a web browser?  And to confirm, your settings under Options > Smart Cleaning are all off?  

 

@Dave CCleaner The issue never appeared when closing a browser.

I am also having issues with this.  I created an account just to chime in.

I have been using CCleaner for a very long time and this past week is the first time I have seen this.  Like others have stated, the application windows opens up every time a game closes.  It happens with Steam games, Epic Games, and games with standalone installs. 

It doesn't seem to happen with all applications though.  Closing Chrome, Blender, and various other applications does not trigger it.

Most recently, I have closed Rogue Company (Epic Games Launcher), Hell Let Loose (Steam Launcher), and Escape from Tarkov (Battlestate Games Launcher).  All 3 triggered CCleaner to open this screen:

 

I do not have anything "smart" enabled.  CCleaner is set to run at startup but that is it.  I do everything else manually.
