CC 5.44.6575: /Auto and Trash Bin Context "Run" no longer works

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

@javagate: I think he answered your question already. It seems that a Windows update causes the issue.

		In this case, <strong>there is another cause which is an update to Windows 10 (build 1803) that is breaking this functionality</strong>. We are working on this issue currently and anticipate a fix for the v5.46 release (release after the next one).

But it's strange that previous versions of CCleaner are still working...

22

My bad I didn't see. let me reinstall the latest release and see if it works. could be the reinstall fixes the problem after the Windows update.

Thank you :) again

23

Didn't work. I reinstalled the latest release and the switches still don't work (/AUTO /SHUTDOWN). I reinstalled 543 *1 release back and they work. Like original it's an issue with the latest release of CC.

24

same here, /auto works with 5.43 but not with latest versions,

I think they broke something and hoping they'll fix it soon

25

I have the same issue. I have been using:

"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" "/AUTO"

For years, and it has stopped working as of 5.44. CCLeaner starts, and immediately crashes or exits. Reverting to 5.43 corrects the problem.

Windows 10 pro 1803 build 17711

26

not only the auto switch has stopped working,

there is this now too:

great job piriform! #not

27

Very unfortunate that there is just complete silence on this issue that has been around for two versions now, 5.44 and 5.45. 5.43 works as expected.

Always a little sad when a program I have used and admired for many years comes to the end of its lifecycle.

28

I believe they already informed us the fix would be in the next release which should be any day now..

29

I don't have Malwarebytes installed.

With version 5.45.6611 here's what's happening.

Right clicking on the Recycle bin and selecting Run cCleaner appears to Analyze only.

Selecting Run cCleaner a second time then appears to clean.

I say "appears" only because I have not tested it extensively.

Hope this helps the developers.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro 32bit.

new version is out today and the bug wasn't fixed,

"auto" switch still doesn't work,

I just tried it without any kind of malwarebytes installed,

and I don't think it will ever get fixed,

because I don't think they understood that there's a problem,

in any case, don't update guys

We don't need two threads for one issue. Now that we have published a new build to replace v5.45, we can start working on this fix. We have identified where the problem is.

Unresolved in 5.46 .

That would be nice - thanks. 

Nicer would be not waiting another month to see the fix.

34

This is still not fixed in CCleaner 5.46.6652 for systems with Windows 10x64 Pro and most likely other versions of Windows.

35

No it isn't, and you'd think that Piriform would've been on it because clearly their most loyal users are the folks who know what a command-line switch is... 

It would be nice to have a quick fix and release, and not wait a third - or is it fourth - month for this fix.

The quotes you have around /AUTO could cause it to not work.

Here's the command: 

"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO

37 
"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO

The command line above does not work on my systems unless I drop back to V5.43 which I have done again. Prior to V5.44, the shown command line has worked for years.

38

@CCleaner why is this so hard to fix?

39

I don't think it's too hard to do, but more of a case that the devs held all other bugs while they made a large overhaul of the monitoring system of ccleaner to get us .46 as soon as they could.

Please see the latest Beta release which should fix this issue
