Would someone please assist me. I have unchecked boxes, but it still continues. I have a Dell PC with Windows 10 upgrade.
Be more specific, what boxes have you unchecked.
I'll cut to the chase though, the "run at startup" checkmark does not do what it sounds like. It tells ccleaner to run a clean at start-up.
To stop ccleaner loading with windows, turn off smart monitoring.
Edit: I've moved this to the ccleaner help board as this is not a bug
I have unchecked the "Run at startup" box. Where might I find "smart monitoring" to turn it off, please?

Options.. Smart Cleaning.. untick the 2 boxes.
No boxes are checked. Each time I turn my PC on CCleaner starts, still.
please take a look:
ccleaner -> tools -> startup
tab windows -> is there any ccleaner entry?
tab sheduled tasks -> is there any ccleaner entry?
if yes -> select the ccleaner entry -> look on the right side -> disable or delete
Big thank you to Truim. Very clear, although after following your instructions:
ccleaner -> tools -> startup done
tab windows -> is there any ccleaner entry? none
tab sheduled tasks -> is there any ccleaner entry? one
if yes -> select the ccleaner entry -> look on the right side -> disable or delete deleted
Result: After restart CCleaner still starts at system load.
You should have Disabled and not Deleted.
The wording in CCleaner is confusing - Delete on that screen just removes it from the list in CCleaner, it doesn't stop it running at start up.
You will now need to use the Windows task scheduler to stop it from running at startup. (Or uninstall/reinstall CCleaner so it shows in the list again).
I'm on my phone at the moment so can't give full instructions on how to do that. Try googling 'remove items from Windows start up' or someone else may be along to give help.
it sounds like ...
1.) you have the free version with manually sheduled task <- but with deleted entry it should not work anymore (done)
2.) have you the pro-version? (are you an user with admin-privilegs on your pc?)
perhaps another way/suggestion to solve the problem: (as nukecad say)
-> uninstall ccleaner -> restart your pc
- look in your harddisk/ssd and delete all leftovers - as the install-folder of ccleaner if its still on your harddisk.
- reinstall your ccleaner (if you have the pro-version- enter your registration)
- after reinstall -> look in ccleaner if unchecked all kind of boxes as:
-> options -> settings -> "run ccleaner when the computer starts"
-> options -> sheduling -> disabled (only in the pro-version)
-> options -> smart cleaning -> the 2 options (in the free) - the 3 options (in the pro-version)

yes, nukecad have right -> sorry for my mistake...
I want to thank Nergal, hazelnut, trium; and nucad for your aid. Unfortunately, none of these instructions have resolved the issue. trium, I have the free version. Hopefully, it will be a simple fix. I have completed each of the instructions to no avail.
Perhaps try this Joe.
Right-click on the taskbar on your machine.
Select TaskManager.
When it opens select the 'start-up tab' at the top (If you nothing when the taskmanager opens select more details at the bottom)
If you see ccleaner there click on it once to highlight it and then select (Disable' from bottom right.
Close the taskmanager and then Restart your machine. Make sure you select restart and not shutdown.
Thank you Sir, but that has disabled because you told me to do that process already.

Disabling it means that it will not run at startup.
Isn't that what you wanted to do?
hello joe lemire,
either: (the simple way)

reinstall ccleaner and after this please take a look:
Quote<div class="ipsQuote_contents"> <p> </p> <p> <u>ccleaner -> tools -> startup</u> </p> <p> tab <strong>windows</strong> -> is there any ccleaner entry? </p> <p> tab <strong>sheduled tasks</strong> -> is there any ccleaner entry? <-------------------------------------- there was one entry by you </p> <p> </p> <p> if yes -> select the ccleaner entry -> look on the right side -> <strong>disable (<u>not delete</u> - sorry for my wrong comment above for a while)</strong> </p> <p> </p> </div>

i dont know how the windows-options named exactly in english - i can only derive it from german windows...
windows -> control panel -> administrative tools -> task scheduler
or perhaps
windows -> control panel -> system and security -> administration -> subitem (plan tasks)
go to the entry you mean (ccleaner...) -> look on the right side of windows scheduler -> delete it (do not confuse with ccleaner)
Sorry to say that none of this helped.
