EricR Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I am a big fan of CCleaner and have been using for years with no issues. They just introduced a new Driver Updater which I tried. It caused my touch screen to stop working. I immediately reversed everything but the touch screen still wont work. I wrote to them and they asked me to send them a bunch of reports which I immediately did. No response. I have written multiple times with no response. My expensive Dell XPS which i paid extra to have a touchscreen is now useless, all thanks to this terrible "Driver Updater" and poor customer service. Too bad that a good company can introduce a product that hurts customers and then won't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 30, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2021 Probably the only thing you can do now is backup all of your personal files onto an external disk like a USB 3.0 external hard disk or SSD (preferably two backups just to be safe), and then factory reset the machine. With my experience of dealing with Dell that's probably what they'd have you do since a third party non-Dell OEM program attempted to update the drivers and who knows what else it has broken. Going by what I've seen on my mother's 2014 Dell laptop (ancient at this point) it still receives updates from Dell, so they're rather good at keeping things up-to-date without having to resort to a third party program while they still support a particular model of computer.

EricR Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 yes i've learned never to use 3rd party updaters. The purpose of my post was to warn other people not to use CCleaner's driver updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStalkerTX Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I echo this post! The Driver Updater is severely broken. Do not use it! I used it to update drivers on my Lenovo P15. The result was a screen that went black, then restored, repeatedly on approximately a 5-second interval. It was useless. I had to boot to Safe Mode and roll back to a restore point. When I updated the drivers using the Lenovo updater it updated 4 drivers. CCleaner Driver Updater had updated 12 drivers, evidently incorrectly. Fortunately, I was able to recover but with more than a day's lost time. Use at your own risk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 CCleaner support has ignored me now for 2 weeks. First they issue a bad product, then they refuse to help a customer fix the problem they created. Really really bad service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
