Ccleaner Autorun & UAC

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi guys,

This may have been raised several times before so if this has been already answered, kindly link me to it.

Thanks.

Anyway, as for my problem, I configured Ccleaner to autorun everytime Windows start but UAC keeps intervening and asking me if I would like to run Ccleaner or not. This defeats the purpose of the autorun setting.

I have set Ccleaner to 'Run as Administrator' everytime it was invoked.

This is not actually a specific autorun issue but rather an issue that affects the moment I ran Ccleaner.

If you have any idea how to bypass this UAC inquiry, I will appreciate if you could share it.

I would prefer to keep my UAC level as is.

Thanks again.

Just don't use CCleaner autostart. UAC is important and there isn't a way to bypass it (per se) else that would defeat the purpose of UAC. CCleaner touches protected parts of the computer so NEEDS elevated privileges.

Run it through the task scheduler at start-up and check the "run with highest privileges" box and you'll avoid the UAC prompt.

Thanks for confirming that, at the moment, UAC bypass is not possible.

I actually did this before but didn't work as expected. It never ran Ccleaner even once :( (I actually still has the task in my scheduler).

Thanks as well.
