Win 10 - MS Edge Not Cleaned

Starting with edge, ccleaner must have all browser windows closed and any applications that use edge to render must also be closed

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Hi, this might be happening because CCleaner was unable to access the Edge database for cleaning. If you re-run cleaning after the first skip, does the consecutive run of CCleaner still skip Edge?

just throwing an idea out there.

on the assumption that no Edge stuff is running when the PC is in Safe Mode, try running CC then and see if the same issue arises.

Backup now & backup often.
It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.
Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

If you are using the free version of CCleaner, you have to manually kill the process 'dllhost.exe' prior to cleaning.

 

I find the easiest way to do it is through Process Explorer. You could also make a .bat file similar to this:

 

@echo off
taskkill /f /im dllhost.exe
start "" "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe" /AUTO

 

If you have CCleaner PRO, choose 'Options' then 'Monitoring'. Uncheck the box 'Enable Browser Monitoring'.

 

Hope this helps.
