Hello. Every time I´m going to make a backup of my PC, I run Ccleaner before to keep the system relatively clean.
And every time I miss a checkbox in the settings for a restart.
Unfortunately, such a box is only available for shutting down the PC.
Couldn't a selection for restarting please also be integrated?
Ghuess that would be helpful.
Thanks for reading :-)
With best regards
Thor

Thanks for your feedback.
Do you mean you want CCleaner to restart the PC after Cleaning?
If so, this is too niche a feature. While it would be helpful in your individual case, this use case is not at all as common as people wanting to clean as the last action before switching the PC off.
When we consider adding a feature we consider not only if it will help our customers, but the cost of maintaining such a feature. 'Maintenance drag' takes focus away from product improvements that impact more customers. So while I am very happy to receive the feedback, in this particular case I want to be straightforward and explain why we won't be pursuing this particular suggestion. Thanks for understanding! :)
You can very easily accomplish it via a Batch (.bat) file in Windows, I've did it for years. Assuming you use Custom Clean in CCleaner!
Instructions
1. Open Notepad and paste in:
"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO
Shutdown -r -t 30 -c "System restart after running CCleaner"
You can change the waiting time for it to restart by modifying the number in seconds listed after: -t
For example to only wait 5 seconds change it to: -t 5
For example to wait 1 minute change it to: -t 60
2. Then save as a Batch file (use quotes around the file name when saving), for example:
"CCleaner Then Restart.bat"
Also see here for more CCleaner command line parameters:

Also see here for more Windows Shutdown command line parameters:

You can also see it locally by opening Command Prompt or PowerShell and typing in: Shutdown /?
