Smart cleaning of browser data kills CCleaner

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

CCleaner with smart cleaning enabled for Edge Chromium will kill the CCleaner Process. Installed CCleaner Version V5.77.8521.

Are you saying that when you close Edge Chrome Smart Cleaning runs but then closes itself? 

Was it working OK until recently?

If so then it's possibly/probably because of the new 'Startup Boost' in Edge Chrome, it leaves background processes running so CCleaner can't clean it properly. 

Try turning 'Startup Boost' off.

But i found out the reason now. I installed Ashampoo Snap 12 some days ago. When Snap12 is disabled, CCleaner works fine.

Thanks for sharing that, it may be helpful to others. (And to the Ccleaner developers).

I don't know that app, or why it should give a problem with cleaning Edge Chrome in particular.

I'll pass your findings upwards.

Update: The staff have comfirmed that they can replicate this issue with Ashampoo Snap 12 and the developers are investigating.

Thanks again for the report.
