Hello, CCleaner is constantly running in the background, and keeps reappearing every.single.time. that I end the process. Is there a way to stop it running in the background permanently, or do I just need to delete the app? I don’t want to waste computer space on unnecessary apps.
CCleaner 7 now runs as a Windows service, so it will be on all the time.
Sorry, I know that’s not what you wanted to hear.
You could always go back to CCleaner 6.39 which doesn’t run as a service.

OK, but I think the point is that CCleaner DOESN’T NEED to run as a Windows service UNLESS the user selects certain options. The program shouldn’t “break” when the service is disabled.
Came here looking for a solution to this. CCleaner Service is using 137.6 MB of memory as a background process.
I’ve set the ‘Startup Type’ to ‘Manual’ under Services. I’m hoping this fixes it. I don’t want to roll back to Version 6 if updates, patches or fixes will no longer be provided.
Just to add, I’ve been using CCleaner for over 15 years and this has almost convinced me to uninstall it. Please fix this.
This is my problem too. It regularly grabs my mouse and the cursor disappears with a cheery beep beep. Please fix this.
