I have opened up cleaner and gone to Options, it give a warning when I try to tick " Skip user control settings" and a popup says " A Parameter is incorrect " How do I get around this ?post-71164-0-94859300-1417000540_thumb.jpg

have you tried it with the latest version, available from here; http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds

  1. Right click "this pc" on your desktop or start menu Choose "Manage"
  2. Scroll down the left side pane to "task scheduler" and click the arrow next to those words so that it shows the folder "task scheduler library"
  3. Now look to the top-right side pane and locate the task called "ccleanerskipUAC"
  4. Right click that and choose properties.

I have posted images of mine, yours may require a few tweaks depending on your username's privilage level and your uac setup,

Mine Seems to work fine set and "Configure for Windows 8.1" ( the last setting on this image" That said, previously, I used to have to drop this OS list down and Change it to "Configure for Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2". So you may have to change it to the opposite of what you current have it saved as. Also note that "Run with Highest Privileges" IS check off, as is Run Only when the user is logged on"

I have nothing in the "Triggers" tab so I've skipped (no pun) to the third tab "Actions"

You too should have only one action. The location should point to where your ccleaner.exe is. So if it says the same thing as mine and yet your ccleaner is really located, for instance, at "g:\system utilities" that might be an issue. Also an issue might be that there are no " " marks or the " marks are including $(Arg0) instead of excluding it like mine does.

I've nothing Activated in the next tab "Conditions" so we will go the "settings" tab but you may want to look that tab over just in case. I'd say make your "settings" the same as mine.

I looked for it, but there isn't a task called "ccleanerskipUAC"...

Why?

I have also installed the software again, but nothing has changed...

Let me know. Best regards.

Open ccleaner with UAC elevation

Uncheck skip UAC

Close CCleaner

Open ccleaner with UAC elevation

Place a checkmark in Skip UAC and see if a task is correctly made

How can I open ccleaner with UAC elevation? Running as administrator?
However there isn't a task called "ccleanerskipUAC" and when I open ccleaner and I try to place a checkmark in Skip UAC, it give the warning " A Parameter is incorrect "...
Let me know. Best regards.
