Snowycat Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I just had a CCleaner update and have had 3 Windows notifications saying Unauthorised Changes Blocked - Controlled Folder Access Blocked. What can I do to rectify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted May 25, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2021 This often happens with a new software version. Especially something like CCleaner which can clean 'controlled' folders. Give Windows Security CFA a day or so to catch up that there is a new version of CCleaner so the number has changed. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Admin Dave CCleaner Posted May 25, 2021 Admin Share Posted May 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Snowycat said: I just had a CCleaner update and have had 3 Windows notifications saying Unauthorised Changes Blocked Just checking: Was this the automatic update, or did you manually update from the website? Were these notifications after the 5.80 update had already been applied? Or did they prevent you from updating to 5.80?

Snowycat Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 It was after the update, I now have 5.80. The warning still happens sometimes when I try to navigate in CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
