Ccleaner 5.64.7613 locks up on desktop

I had Ccleaner Free 5.59.7230 running on Win 10 Pro PC just fine. I updated to 5.64.7613 free. The program starts, but the window locks - that is anything you click produces a "ding" sound. Can't move Ccleaner window. Does not do anything. Can only get rid of via task mgr. Uninstalled. Rebooted. Reinstalled. Same.

Installed older 5.59.7230 which seems to work fine.

Current Win 10 Pro is ver 1909 Build 18363.720

There are a few issues (like yours) with 5.64 which the devs are busy fixing.

I am having this same issue. I updated tonight and was immediately greeted with complete unusability (not a word, but it gets the point across). Anything I do just 'dings' at me.

I found another thread where people were having this issue and disabled their Pi-Hole. I tried it and I was able to use CCleaner successfully.

I am also experiencing this issue. The cleaner starts, a tiny sliver of color appears in the bar, then nothing. I can canel or exit, but no cleaning.

I had the same issue, Pi-hole blocking some requests,

I ran a Query log in pihole and white listed the queries that were logged as blocked for my laptops IP address.

It's working now.

I had the same problem. Once I checked the DNS query block log I found three queries that could be related to CCleaner. It seems the servers CCleaner uses got black listed by various DNS ad blocking lists which gets included on one's pi-hole.

I don't see why CCleaner is requiring to phone home when all it needs to do is clean up temporary files and other junk from my system. Is there a repository somewhere I can download previous versions of CCleaner that didn't have this issue?

EDIT: Aside from the license.piriform.com query, whitelisting the general amazon/avast servers is a no-go because it'll allow ads to come through on other services.
