Ccleaner wont start and clean at computer start up

[joe4321]

I know that this question has already been answered and that Piriform doesn't care about these "minor" bugs, but i'll tell this problem anyway.

Let's be clear, i'm not talking about the premium option but only the free "Run ccleaner when computer start" option.

Since 2 month it doesn't run at start, what it was doing usually, So i have to do it myself, when it comes back to me, that makes a big performance issue.

I have: reinstalled CC.

updated CC.

run adware cleaner.

run all my viruses scan.

defragmented.

installed the preconised dll for this problem in the piriform forums.

uncheked, rebooted, rechecked the program starting autorisation for CC.

verified if CC wasn't running in background but -->no<--.

And nothing happend.

If this problem doesn't comes from me, that will be great to fix it.

I hope someone will read this post and anwser me.

Cordially.

Make sure when you enable it to run on startup that you're doing so as an administrator or make sure your account at least has administrator privileges so that it can write the required registry setting needed to allow it to clean on startup.

Optionally:

If that doesn't work there's a different way to make it work:

1. Copy the CCleaner shortcut from the desktop and paste it into the Startup folder located in the Start Menu, and then rename that copied shortcut to something else like CCleaner Auto.

Screenshot example made in Wndows XP (click to enlarge):

2. Right click the newly copied shortcut and select Properties, you'll see the Target path pointing to CCleaner.exe, example:

"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe"

Change the Target path by pasting /AUTO at the end of it, example:

"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO

To test it log off Windows, then logon, you should see the CCleaner icon briefly display in the systray near the clock while it's cleaning.

Edit:

There are some instances when you may not want it to run, such as if an installation has to continue after a system restart. To manage if it's enabled or disabled to run on startup you can do this via CCleaner itself by going into:

Tools > Startup > Windows

Then you can either Disable, or Enable if needed.
