Doomelf Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 When "Font Cache" is cleaned it causes a spinning wheel loop on startup and Windows 10 version 1803 fails to boot. The only solution working for me is going into Safe Mode and doing a system repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2018 I've pinned this since there's another user who has also reported the same breakage. I've also left a link to the admins so they can look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen CCleaner Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 We will look to disable this cleaning option in the next release while we work on a fix. This bug did not come up when we looked at earlier preview versions of Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryalix Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 When booted into safe mode, try restarting first from safe mode and see if safe mode will restore the FNTCACHE.dat so that Windows will boot up normally. However, if it doesn't then proceed to do a system repair as Doomelf has described above. I had the similar problem but restarting from safe mode might be the easiest solution for this before system repair. My post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pszilard Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I have found this too. How can I disable Font Cache purging in CCleaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted May 28, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2018 have you tried unticking Font Cache in the System options section? 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.

Guest Stephen CCleaner Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 This option is disabled in the current release. If you haven't updated (or disabled the option), we strongly recommend doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABCman Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 When is it estimated that the option of cleaning Font cache will return? I tried to use it today but found with the updated version of Ccleaner that it was not there. I am not running the newest version of Windows 10, is there a way I can download the previous version of CCleaner that still has it? I use a font manager for a few thousand fonts, and occasionally something goes wrong and using CCleaner's clean font cache has been the only thing I've found to fix the problem.

Old versions are archived at:https://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/history/ Edit: However in all likelihood it will just automatically emergency update itself to the newest version to avoid such bugs and for the updates to the privacy settings/compliance (just look around the forums for that info).
