I (and apparently many others), find that selecting the "Run at Startup" Option very significantly slows down boot time, so I leave it unchecked.
I suggest that an additional option "Load at Startup" would be very helpful. My most common use is for "Browser Monitoring", and I do want CCleaner loaded with Windows, but definietly do not want to increase my boot time.
g'day user180 and welcome to the forums.
Browser Monitoring is loaded at startup if selected (for the Pro version).
what else could CC do if loaded at startup?
I do use the Pro version. If the "Run CCleaner when computer starts" option is checked, then you're right - the browser monitoring starts. However, it also does a cleaning activity during boot, which is typically very slow (and others have complained about that as well). I don't want that. If I want a scan, I will do it manually. But I do want the browser monitoring, which doesn't slow up anything, to be started during boot up. So I want an option which can start the monitoring without also including the initial boot cleaning i.e. load rather than run.
I have CC Pro, I have all the 3 monitoring boxes ticked, I have Run CC when the computer starts NOT ticked and monitoring starts when the PC starts and there is no cleaning done.
