Good morning, after upgrade to Windows 11 I have problem to auto start CC background service with logon. I have the CCleaner shortcut set to run as admin and for some reason Windows 11 prevents it to auto start. Is there a resolution how to force it autostart?
Just to be sure here; are we talking only about Smart Cleaning?
There a a number of things in CCleaner that can launch in the background at startup.
eg. Smart Cleaning, Scheduling, Automatic updating, Performance Optimser, and of course Run a clean at startup.
A few more questions to help us work out what may be happening:
- Could you say what is happening, or not happening, that makes you say that Smart Cleaning is not running, eg. are you getting an error message?
- Is anything CCleaner running in the background? Task Manager should show if there is a CCleaner background task running.
- Could you tell us (or screenshot) your settings for Smart Cleaning, and possibly for the others I mentioned?
- Are you using your computer from an Admin account or as a Standard user?
- Are you using a 3rd party Antivirus? If so which one and what version number is it?
The answers to those should help us work out what may be happening/not happening for you and hoe to fix it.
