ERROR CCleaner monitoring is active

I've been using CCleaner for a few years now and this is the first time I ran into this problem.

I change "Monitoring" options and disable everything.

It is still running.

I end its task. I disable it from starting with Windows on Task Manager. Restart the computer

It is still there. Starts automatically. The monitoring is active again (by itself) and I have to end the task manually.

It is a problem with 5.45 build.

Piriform are going to fix things.

Try going back to the last build.

Okay!

The simplest solution I found that has worked now for multiple re-boots is to use SysInternals Autoruns - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns After starting Autoruns in the "Everything" tab, type ccleaner in the filter box and uncheck CCleaner Update in the Task Scheduler section.

Amazing tool! Did not know it existed. Thank you!
