CCleaner in System Tray after closing program.


Recommended Posts

CCleaner remains open in the system tray when the program is closed, with Minimize to System Tray in settings under advanced turned OFF. I am running the latest version of Windows 11 and CCleaner as of this writing. Is this a bug (I assume it is) or is there a setting I am missing to disable this from happening?

Turn off both Smartcleaning and auto update

 

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.

It isn't a bug, it's simply the way that Windows works.

Those options (Smart Cleaning and Auto Updating) each have to run a background process to work properly.
So if either one, or both, are enabled then Windows puts an icon in the system tray to show that CCleaner is running something in the background.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:
