Ccleaner Service task

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hello
How can I stop a window from popping up several times a day telling me I have the latest update? I’ve already tried manual updates, but it didn’t change anything. In Task Manager, I see the CCleaner service task. When I end it, it immediately restarts, even though the program is closed. The Task Manager shows something different. I’m about ready to return this program.

Hi @maritath21,
Please could you let me know what version of CCleaner you are using?
You can see this by going to Settings> Updates.

The persistent update popups occur because the CCleaner background service is managed by the Windows Task Scheduler, not just the active program process. You may try this:

  • Open the Windows Task Scheduler, navigate to the “Task Scheduler Library,” and identify any tasks named “CCleanerUpdate”.

  • Right-click these tasks and select Disable to prevent them from triggering the update check automatically.

  • Open the CCleaner application, go to Options > Updates, and uncheck the setting “Automatically check for updates to CCleaner” to ensure the software does not re-enable these tasks.
