I'm thinking you guys might still have the registry startup for Active Monitoring in the registry from the previous buggy 4.18 version.

I never used the "previous buggy 4.18 version" I went directly from v4.17.4808 to v4.18.4844 both were the portable version.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is also clear.

Ok, you are using the portable version. Please open the "ccleaner.ini" file and check if the following lines are included and the value is respectively zero:

Monitoring=0
SystemMonitoring=0

Thanks for the suggestion. Both lines were already present and correctly set. Let me know if you need any more information.

Good, the new Monitoring feature is disabled correctly.

If you start CCleaner without the command /AUTO does cleaning work flawless or does it hang?

Which Windows version you are using?

When started without /auto CCleaner runs as expected.

Which Windows version you are using?

32 bit Vista

I checked the portable version on my system (Windows 7, 64-bit). The command /AUTO works flawless even if the Monitoring feature is enabled. It seems that the Monitoring options are not relevant for the command /AUTO.

I am sorry; I do not have another idea why it does not work correctly on your system. :(

I thought it may be Windows 8 related, but you are using Vista. So only the coder can help now.

Thanks for trying. Is there a better place to post a bug report?

11

Not that I know of. Only buyers of the "Professional" version get priority support.

I share those thoughts. Someone else also reported a problem with /AUTO.

13

I'm using v4.18.4844 portable on a W8.1 64-bit

I set monitoring off as mentioned above

Monitoring=0
SystemMonitoring=0

and the /auto is working fine for me. ("C:\Users\[user]\Desktop\CCleaner Portable\ccleaner.exe" /auto)

I presume you made sure there were no "orphaned" CCleaner processes running in task manager before testing?

Correct, no orphaned processes.

I suspect that the system monitoring settings are not being correctly checked when launched with /auto.

Monitoring=0

Thanks for this help,

CCleaner v5.01 , portable release anyway, still has the problem of Options Monitoring always has Enable Active Monitoring check-marked ON with no way to un-check it, no way to turn it off. Even dozens of continuous clicks did not get it to change -- OK, so I was frustrated...

These two ini file additions seem to have fixed it.

Now if I could just figure out why it always prompts my firewall to allow internet connection at CC startup, even with Update Check turned off...

Thx.
