CCleaner starts with system start but then closes

CCleaner starts with System start (that's what I want it to do). The little Icon appears next to the Windows Clock. Sometimes on start the brush is wiping, sometimes not. But than the little Icon disappeares and I have to start CCleaner again, manually.

I tried deinstalling and reinstalling CCleaner, no difference

Version 5.61 (latest Version), 64 bit

Windows 10, 64 bit

Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you checked off the option for run at start-up. The words used in that option are confusing, it means run a clean at start-up, which is what you are seeing happen.

Thank you for answering. The option for run at start-up is checked, CCleaner starts automatically and than the Little icon in the sys tray disappears. When I start CCleaner manually, everything is fine. Strange.

It disappears because it cleans automatically, and then closes itself which is the normal operation in 'Options > Settings' for 'Run CCleaner when the computer starts'.

If you want it always running resident go into 'Options > Smart Cleaning'.
