Ughh Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There's an option to disable automatic launch at startup. It does nothing. Let me rephrase that. I feel that you are goading me with a fake option to prevent automatic launch at startup. Why is it even there if it does absolutely nothing??

Moderators nukecad Posted December 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2018 I believe that you are looking at the wrong thing. Run at startup runs a clean at startup. If you have monitoring turned on that will also start at startup, but only run in the background until you reach the level of junk that you have set, at which time it pops up and asks if you want to run a clean. Both options have their own on/off so stopping one doesn't stop the other. You have to turn them off seperately if you don't want them. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Ughh Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Ah, maybe that is it... any idea where the monitoring setting you refer to is located? It's unclear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gew Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'm suffering the same problem! Yes, I know I can use ms-settings:startupapps and disable it "on above-level" from there, but I'm annoyed by the fact that I have to do it like this. It feels like modern software should have the ability for an in-app method of toggling auto-start-with-Windows on or off. Of course, everything under "Smart cleaning" is unchecked, but CCleaner still starts with Windoze. I'm running the latest version (v5.76.8269) of the CCleaner software. Ideas?

Moderators nukecad Posted February 14, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2021 This thread is over 2 years old and so is well out of date. You are missundertanding how the settings work now in CCleaner. You can change the settings in CCleaner itself - but it's now 2 settings that you have to disable, because there is now a new function that can run in the background. You will also get a CCleaner icon in your system tray if you have "Keep CCleaner updated automatically" selected in Options>Updates. That's a new feature that was only recently introduced to CCleaner Free. (And it was also changed in CCleaner Pro). If you don't want to see a CCleaner icon in the system tray then you have to have both automatic updating and Smart Cleaning turned off. PS. "Launch the CCleaner app each time the computer starts" has nothing to do with this. That simpy runs a clean in the background on start and then closes itself. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?
