Ray Spengler Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Windows 7 Pro system. Ccleaner Browser installed on a recent update. When running CCleaner it asks to force CCleaner Browser to close... It will not close. Tried uninstalling per your website suggestions and it does not uninstall. Tried Control Panel uninstall and states I must have Administrator privileges. I am the Administrator and logged on as Administrator. Very frustrating... 14 years IT background. P.S. Antivirus turned off and all other programs closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted January 6, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 6, 2021 See this to start with: https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/ccleaner-browser/troubleshooting/how-do-i-uninstall-ccleaner-browser However, CCleaner Browser not uninstalling can be a known problem, I've asked the staff what is happening about resolving it. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Guest MeganCCleaner Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi @Ray Spengler Can you please (if applicable) terminate all of the running processes associated with the CCleaner Browser via the Windows Task Manager, then see if it can be uninstalled? Additionally, can you please see if it can be uninstalled using the following steps? In Windows, navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCleaner Browser Right-click the "CCleanerBrowserUninstall.exe" file > click "Run as Administrator" Otherwise, can you please ensure that CCleaner Browser is not configured to automatically start with Windows? Open CCleaner Browser > click Menu () > Settings Under the "On Startup" section, move the "Launch CCleaner Browser automatically when your computer starts" switch to the left, to the Off position Afterwards, please restart the computer, then try to uninstall the CCleaner Browser again.

Hi @tylarius When you attempt to uninstall CCleaner Browser, does the uninstallation process stall, without progressing further, or are you encountering a different type of issue with this? Additionally, can you please tell me what operating system you are using, and what version of the browser is installed? You can find the browser version as follows: Open CCleaner Browser > click Menu () Click "Help and About CCleaner Browser" > About CCleaner Browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylarius Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi @MeganCCleaner When I click on CCleanerBrowserUninstall.exe the mouse icon changes to a blue wheel like something is loading for a second and then nothing happens. Similar behavior when try to use Add / Remove Programs. I am on Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.18636. I hope this helps and thank you. The computer is administered by somebody else so I can check in with them if you can't think of anything else. I didn't intend to install this program.

Guest MeganCCleaner Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi @tylarius Thanks for all of the information. By chance, do you have the Desktop version of CCleaner installed and if so, does this allow you to uninstall CCleaner Browser, as follows? Open CCleaner > click Tools > Uninstall Right-click CCleaner Browser > click Uninstall Or, can you please see if the browser can be uninstalled using the following steps? Click Start > type: CMD From the search results, right-click Command Prompt > click "Run as Administrator" Type and enter: "C:\Program Files (x86)\CCleaner Browser\CCleanerBrowserUninstall.exe" /run_source=cp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylarius Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi @MeganCCleaner, Thanks for the additional info! When I use try to use CCleaner to uninstall I get similar behavior as other methods. The mouse spins for less than a second and then stops.

Stromm Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I had the same problem. I restarted my PC, opened CCleaner browser, it asked for some options to finish setting it up. After doing that it let me uninstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running ccleaner at the moment and it's not working properly because ccleaner browser will not close. I've gone into task manager and it doesn't work re ccleaner browser, you just can't close this thing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
