CCleaner gets me kicked out of CSGO!

I'm sick and tired of CCleaner getting me kicket out of matches in CSGO. Is there not any other way than stop using CCleaner to solve the problem??

This has been going on for years and many are affected!

is it the Monitoring side of CC that is causing this?

if Montoring is disabled, does your game plays fine?


or does this happen after you run CC to clean your files?

I'm clueless. Hope someone knows why this is happening. I've turned off monitor and made exception of the Valve file containing CSGO.

if Monitoring has been turned off, there is no other CC process running in the background that should cause interference with game play.

so from that point it should not be CC causing you to be kicked out of your game.


but I guess the ultimate test of that is to uninstall CC and see if that helps.

do you have the free or Pro version of CC?

the other angle is, after running CC it has cleaned something that then prevent game play.

so what is your problem, during the game you are kicked out, or after running CC, or get an error when trying to start the game?

Tried this many times. Seems like many other also struggle with it. I was hoping the DEV's of CCleaner would be noticed about the problem that has been running for years.

I'm still not convinced it's a CC issue.

and this is where more info would help the Devs.

like, do you have Free or Pro?


does the issue happen when CC is uninstalled?


do you have CC's Monitoring turned on?


if so, does the issue disappear if Monitoring is turned off?


does that pop-up error happen mid-game play, or only after you run CC than go to play the game?

CCleaner free

Happens if I have runned CCleaner. Could happen even days after.


Monitor is off.




I have now disabled PowerShell if that is the case. And if CSGO kicks me out for VAC block again, then I will uninstall CCleaner.




BTW: I have made exceptions of what CC should not touch. But we will just have to see.




thank you for replys
