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.
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 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.
