Apps dont work anymore after temporary files were cleaned

[Christoph]

Hello,

since some days I'm facing the issue that after cleaning the temporary system files most of the apps listed below dont start anymore. The error message says that the file or directory is corrupt and not readable. After reinstallation the apps work fine just until next clean up.

The problem does only occure when I select this specific option and I'm not aware having changed any other settings. I'm somehow lost what could be the reason for this behaviour. Meanwhile I even set up my windows system again without success.

I would be thankful for any hints how to solve this issue.

Best regards

Christoph

the problem seems to be with the "sentry_temp" folder, within the "c:\windows\temp" folder.

so, it is related to whatever program that you have installed that is using that "sentry_temp" folder.

you could go to ccleaner's "options"/"exclude" and "exclude" the "sentry_temp" folder from being cleaned, assuming that the program that is using the "sentry_temp" folder is legitimate and that it is something that you want to continue using.

Thanks a lot, that solved the issue. It seems that the sentry_temp folder is cleaned up by Windows automatically. So I can live with that workaround. 

Best regards
