Hi there
Don't know whether this is just because of my system, or whether other users are also experiencing the same problem, but here goes:
Recently updated to the latest version (5.74.8198), it is the free version. We have Windows 10 Home (64-Bit), 20H2 (OS Build 19042.630).
As a matter of choice, I don't want Smart Cleaning monitoring on. In Options, Smart Cleaning, I have unchecked both boxes (Tell me when, and Enable Smart Cleaning). In the Startup section when it appears, I have both disabled and deleted this entry.
However, I still find that even after closing the program, in the notification icons section of the taskbar, the CCleaner icon is there. This I find annoying. Sometimes I can get rid of it, sometimes I can't. This, I assume, means it's running in the background, even when I don't want it to be, taking up memory and more processes. It is also a small problem on this machine, as it doesn't have that much RAM, but obviously that's not Piriforms fault.
As far as I'm concerned, I'll run CCleaner when I choose to, to analyse what needs to be cleaned.
Is there anything I can do please, to stop the automatic enabling of Smart Cleaning monitoring with CCleaner, as I have tried everything I can think of ? Is this a known issue, do other users find this, because it seems as though the program is maybe ignoring my wishes ?
Thanks for any input with this matter.
