CCleaner v5.45.6611 cannot disable active monitoring

[cweb0518]

I have been a user of CCleaner for years now, and it is a great program!  But I am not please that with CCleaner v5.45.6611 x64, you are no longer able to disable active monitoring.  I do not like it when I cannot control functions like this.  I am an IT professional, with a Masters degree, and I do not need a program that will not allow me to choose the options that I want/need. 

I have found a work around to not being able to disable it, but I have to do it every time I run the program.

I am hoping that this is just a known bug and that they are working on a fix.  From what I have been able to tell, everyone is having this problem, and no one is happy about it.

I don't think it's a bug.  I think they thought they'd sneak it in and no-one would notice.   They're now saying there'l be a fix in a few weeks.  

 

It's easier to go back to an earlier version.  You can get earlier versions on FileHippo, just don't let it update.

Yup, not a bug.

It's deliberate functionality they've admitted to, as well as saying they still collect User data even after that option is also disabled as well.

Scroll further down/back in the Forum here and look for threads going back a few weeks now.

This for example:

The simplest solution I found that has worked now for multiple re-boots is to use SysInternals Autoruns - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns   After starting Autoruns in the "Everything" tab, type ccleaner in the filter box and uncheck CCleaner Update in the Task Scheduler section.
