Good afternoon, I’m wondering where I can deactivate the autostart for version 7.0.984.0 Professional in Windows 11?

Hi @RichardHajek,
With CCleaner 7, we made a technical shift: CCleaner now runs as a Windows service instead of a regular startup app. This change supports new features like Performance Optimizer and Software Updater, and helps improve overall stability and performance.
Because it’s running as a background service, it no longer shows up in the startup list you could previously toggle in the UI.
We understand this is a change from how things worked before, and we’re here if you need help adjusting to the new setup.

Because of this, I have just deactivated my subscription. I purchased and used CCleaner to assist with cleaning, and removing unwanted apps from running with my system. Not to add another one. Good luck with your future ventures, I will check back in a year or so, and see if this has been addressed.
