Currently you can open many windows of ccleaner at once, this may confuse users who start a scan on one and see the other not scanning
Hi @Nergal,
I have spoken to the engineering team on this and they have said a user may want to use multiple features at the same time by opening more than one window. Those windows can be placed on different screens or desktops for convenience—it’s entirely up to the user how they choose to work.
Why would we prevent users from opening multiple instances at all? If a user runs a feature in one instance and opens additional UI instances on the same feature, they’ll simply see the same state reflected across all windows. This doesn’t introduce confusion or inconsistency; it just provides more flexibility in how the UI is accessed.
Users who prefer a single window can already achieve that today by opening only one instance. Enforcing a hard single‑instance limit would remove choice entirely and leave users who benefit from multiple windows with no alternative.
Allowing multiple instances preserves flexibility without negatively impacting users who prefer a single window.
Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback on this?
Thanks laurence, I’ll abide with what they told you
If you have a strong reason to limit the number of instances of the UI opening, please let me know, I can pick this back up with them.
Nope, their explanation was enough, just weird to me, not a deal breaker
