Ok, I wonder if this is correct, but I manually deleted these 2 NVIDIA archives in the "BackupStorage" folder. I did another scan and updated the Nvidia high definition audio driver 1.3.39.4. CCleaner performed the update, but did not save it: I still see the 1.3.39.3 archive in the "BackupStorage" folder. Anyway, CCleaner still offers version 516.93 and not 516.94 from the Nvidia Geforce site for the video driver, but it doesn't seem to download a Nvidia driver again for the moment. The "BackupStorage" folder is now 2.4 MB, which is more reasonable. If I summarize, it seems to me that CCleaner has the following small problems: - Archiving of one or more driver versions not installed on the system, - Picking up a driver that has nothing to do with the user's choice or even CCleaner's proposal, - Deploying an archive that is then abandoned during processing, - Not cleaning several different backed up versions of the video driver.

Hello, I restarted procmon to see what was going on. I can say that the "NVIDIA_NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti_30.0.15.1277.zip" archive comes from the "C:\Program FilesCCleaner\Data\BackupStorage" folder and that CCleaner reads it to unpack the files in the Temp directory in order to prepare for a possible update. After that, CCleaner seems to read the registry about the installed devices. I think the version test is done afterwards, but the Temp directory is not processed anymore and the driver files remain in place. Anyway, there is already 1.23 GB archived in the "BackupStorage" folder. Does CCleaner process the cleaning of these archives? I already have two Nvidia driver archives: NVIDIA_NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti_30.0.15.1215.zip and NVIDIA_NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti_30.0.15.1277.zip. So the place used on the SSD for that if 1,23 GB + 1 more GB at least, hence 2,25 GB. CCleaner seems to me to be a big space eater instead of a space recovery application. Wasn't that its original purpose?

CCleaner regularly pushes 512.77 Nvidia Driver files into the temporary folder, regardless of the version already installed: from 511.79, I used CCleaner to update to 516.94, then back to 511.79 which behaves better. To make sure I get a clean revert, I use DDU from Wagnardsoft. I'm pretty sure CCleaner is the main cause: I used procmon from sysinternal tools to discover that CCleaner has pushed all the files into the Temp folder. I don't understand why 512.77 version is pushed, as it is not the latest NVidia driver. The issue is minor to me, but the space taken up by these temporary files is up to 1GB, which could cause premature wear and tear on the SSD, in addition to the lost space. C:\Program Files\CCleaner\Data\DUState.dat C:\Program Files\CCleaner\LOG\DriverUpdaterLib.log but I have not found any C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log DriverUpdaterLib.zip DUState.zip

Here are all the files : I performed a driver update again. Same result : VGA resolution. DUState.dat DriverUpdaterLib.zip setupapi.dev.log

Hello, Here's the files. I used my administrator account to fetch files but I have not found any "setupapi.dev.log" file in C:\Windows\INF. I manually installed "crimson 16.2.1 Beta drivers" after this wrong update. I zipped DriverUpdaterLib.log since it was to big for this forum. If you need to get new files, let me know: I will try again to update the video driver. DUState.dat DriverUpdaterLib.zip

Hello, I am a new user of CCleaner Pro and I appreciate your product which has saved me time and effort in updating the drivers on my PC. However, there are exceptions to automating this task: drivers for old ATI RADEON graphics cards. For your information, for products that do not have the Graphic Next Generation architecture like my old RADEON HD6800 card, there are only two drivers: - WHQL catalyst 15.7.1 drivers - crimson 16.2.1 Beta drivers Any driver newer than these older ones should not be suggested as they are not compatible with this non-GCN architecture. See https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-non-gcn-16-2-1-beta Forcing the validation of the choice of the latest drivers dated 2022/13/02 results in starting with the VGA driver. Hence, it is mandatory to stick to the legacy drivers for these old hardwares. Best, Gilles
