Hi there, I just performed a clean on my laptop and am getting a message advising I don’t have the necessary permissions to perform the necessary updates. I am the sole user of this laptop, I am the administrator, I’m using Windows 11, and I’ve never had an issue in the past performing the updates (though I think that may have been the former CCleaner version, pre upgrade).
Can someone point me in the right direction, please? I have 6 outdated apps, and that list will likely only get bigger.
Sometimes a software update needs input that a software updating tool can’t give it.
It looks that you have one that is throwing up the Windows User Account Control (UAC) which asks for permission to proceed.
CCleaner’s Software Update doesn’t know that it’s asking, so can’t reply, so you don’t get the required permission.
Make a note of what app it is sticking on and update it from the app itself.
Most apps have their own ‘Check for Updates’ in their menu.
TBH I never let CCleaner do the updates, if/when it says there is an update available for an app then I’ll update it from the app itself.
