AzRattler Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I have a fairly strong desktop...I7 with 24G Ram, AMD video card and 2 SSD drives. I have used the free version of CCleaner for a couple of years and decided that I would contribute to their cause. After installing and verifying my license, I found that when I start my PC in the AM, I cannot load or do anything on the PC for an extended period of time on the PC and occasionally windows does not start properly and I have to hold the power button and do a hard restart. Normally my PC boots and is ready in about 15 seconds, but now it is minutes. I have never had that problem in the past. I disabled CCleaner and restarted and the PC booted quickly and had no problems. Has anyone else experienced this behavior??? Does anyone have a solution for this??? For the time being, I will set CCleaner to NOT start with Windows and then start it manually after I have my apps running. AzRattler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to check, how did you have it set to autostart? Was it the option "run at start-up". If yes that setting actually means run cleaning at start-up. 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.

AzRattler Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Thanks.... I did not set anything, I just let the installer do its thing.... I have now set it on a schedule to run weekly on Friday afternoon... I unchecked the box to 'Run CCleaner when computer starts??' I will keep an eye on it and report back....
