I had to delete the temp_ccupdate folter, which is dowloaded on the first start automatically and uncheck the boxes, to stopp it from doing that.
Hi Kiri:
If I unzip a fresh copy of the portable ccsetup639.zip downloaded from the official builds page <here> there is no file named CCUpdate.exe. If you can find a file called CCUpdate.exe on your system (e.g., at C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCUpdate.exe) just go ahead and delete it.
CCUpdate.exe (a.k.a. the CCleaner emergency updater) could be a remnant left behind by your accidental upgrade to the “standard” version of CCleaner v7.x or from an older version of CCleaner Portable. For example, see my 21-Jul-2023 post in Wisewiz’s Welcome back to CCleaner Professional ??? about a buggy CCleaner Portable v5.92 (released 11-Apr-2022) that incorrectly added a task called “CCleaner Update” in Windows’ Task Scheduler that would try to run the CCUpdate.exe emergency updater.
Open Task Scheduler and look for that scheduled task named “CCleaner Update”. If present, just right-click and choose “Delete” from the pop-up context menu to remove the task and stop it from running. Here’s an old image I captured in January 2021 when I was using CCleaner Free Portable v5.76 that shows that task.
