Recently installed version 3.20.1750 from version 3.18.1707(64bit), windows7 ultimate. I have since verified that under Tools/Startup/Scheduled Tasks that the two tasks that I had enabled in the 3.18 version, and were working properly, failed to work properly after version 3.20 was installed--after the next reboot. I will try to explain in the following paragraphs.
Just now by using win7 system restore I went back before my original initial install of 3.20 so that 3.18 was restored. When I rebooted with 3.18 the two scheduled tasks started without problem. The two tasks are "Aida64 AutoStart" & "EVGAPrecision" as they are listed under Scheduled Tasks in CCleaner Tools/Startup, ver 3.18.1707. When version 3.20 was installed I would receive an error message text box from Precision that required a click to acknowledge before Precision would start, and AIDA64 required a similar extra click before it would minimize to the Notification bar. I use Precision to set fan speed for my Nvidia Geforce 590 and I use AIDA64, among other things, to immediately begin to monitor realtime temps, fan speeds, and voltages using my Logitech G15 LCD keyboard screen. These tasks booted up properly until I downloaded and installed the version 3.20 when it was first published. It took me all this time, since about June 25, to track down the problem.
Once I thought I had figured out the problem, having gone back like I said to ver 3.18, I re-installed 3.20 again from a fresh download from the Piriform site, rebooted without making any changes, and again the two Scheduled Tasks had been eliminated. I do not have any automatic settings that would otherwise account for these two items being deleted from the Scheduled Tasks list.
I am now using the 3.18 version, having run System Restore to get rid of the 3.20 version thoroughly--Again! I think this is a reproducible bug if someone else wants to look into it.

Not working properly refers to the error message when Precision did launch, and the fact Aida did not minimize as it should. Yes ccleaner did not completely stop these apps from running. No it is not the interaction of ccleaner with uac as that is turned off completely in my win7. The failure of these two apps to start up silently and the verified observation of the deleted entries from scheduled tasks in ccleaner (whatever that may ultimately mean, that is, as u noted the app did still try to run as before) is I think enough of a verified glitch to require this report. It is my observation alone I suppose; in my original post the point well made was the absence of this glitch in the older version of ccleaner. I have used ccleaner since it first appeared years ago, and this is the first time I have found any version of it to have somehow actually altered the smooth running of one of my many pcs. I have used it because it has always improved function of my pcs. So i am just trying to help point out an incident of concern to me. Thank u for asking for this clarificatiin. I hope it is not too muddy of a reply.
No, not now. I used System Restore with my Win7 one more time to revert back to the earlier version of ccleaner, 3.18, with which the two apps go to work immediaty in background.
