Edge slow to clean

[Hmm]

I was going to create a separate topic on this but the OP beat me to it.

{Topics split, this is not quite the same issue - Nukecad}

I too have notice a BIG lag starting with version v6.09.10300. This lag is with cleaning, not loading although it's a bit longer now (about 2 seconds). 

I have an NVMe drive and I have over 87% free. CCleaner was always lightening fast on my current system until recently.

I have two different Chromium browsers (Edge and Chrome) installed and I know in the past Microsoft browsers and their "junk" were bottlenecks with CCleaner. But that was on a Windows7 system running HDDs not SSD/NVMe drives.

As another guess, there have been some "major" updates with W11 recently and Chrome. I noticed a slow down in general in loading applications and more. In fact, my laptop fans love to engage these days when idle and that in itself is driving me bonkers. I haven't been able figure out what's doing this and Defender is always running these days it seems.

We have seen long CCleaner loading times in the past, as long as 8 or 15 seconds.
I've suffered from 8 second loading lag myself in the past, but like I say I'm not seeing any lag with 6.10 and presumably Hazelnut isn't either or would have mentioned it. (and nobody else has reported any lags - not yet anyway).

When I said go offline I just meant disconnect from the internet to see if it was pausing/lagging because CCleaner was trying to make a connection to a server that it couldn't make.
If you are not connected to the net then it (usually) recognises that and so doesn't try to connect to anything.

Mine is taking slightly longer to open if this laptop is on the wifi than if it's in Flight mode, but it's less than a second in both cases.

I'm trying to think what else could be causing it for you.
I believe you have already turned off Smart Cleaning and Automatic Updating, so we can rule those out.
Are you using the Perfomance Optimiser?
Are you using Winapp2?

Count me as the "second" person. I have all this disabled and running W64 and connected via RJ45.

I'm not sure about that.

Wisewiz is reporting slow launching to the User Interface, starting with v6.10 and a new licence key.

You are reporting slow cleaning starting with 6.09 - which is a different thing.

This lag is with cleaning, not loading

Firstly are you using Winapp2 or some other add-on?
If you don't trim them down after installing them then they can realy slow cleaning.

I'd also suggest that you look in Task Manager and see what is running when 'idle'.
Open task Manager and let the computer sit there, after 5 or 10 minutes you'll probably see some background tasks start up.
The fact that your cooling fans start up when 'idle'  suggests that something is runnning in the background to make you chips run hotter.

 

Following Windows Updates there is always quite a lot going on in the background, sometimes for hours afterwards. (or even days - if you don't allow the computer some idle time after a Windows Update then it has to do update tasks a little bit at a time when it can).
You don't normally see all that background activity unless you are looking in Task maager, but it's using your CPU and could be slowing things down.
eg. Last week's Windows Updates download a new iteration of the 'Malicious Software Removal Tool' which then loaded to scan your machine in the background.
MSRT always slows down things a bit when it runs in the background.

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) helps keep Windows computers free from prevalent malware. MSRT finds and removes threats and reverses the changes made by these threats. MSRT is generally released monthly as part of Windows Update

Indeed. Loading and cleaning are not the same. I didn't want to start a new thread for the slow cleaning. If you think I should, let me know.

I have looked at the task manager including Process Hacker. There's nothing odd and cpu load is nominal which is frustrating that the fans are running. As I type this, all is good (for now). Like you said, Windows Updates can take hours or days to do it's "thing" after an update. This is similar after an iPhone update too. But I've disabled (delayed) Windows Updates for now. I'll keep monitoring it. 

I seen your post earlier about Winapp2, I'm not familiar with it so I'm not intentionally using it. 

I think I'll uninstall Ccleaner and reinstall it just to see if the cleaning improves. But it always pauses for a long time when it's performing Edge cleaning. Heck, it's even cleaning Internet Explorer files!

And those WIndows Widgets are pia too which like to start up despite being disabled in the Settings. Lenovo files seem to rely on Edge Runtime Environment too. 

I've attached a couple of screenshots taken less than a minute apart from the previous cleaning.

Yes please do. its a wholey different thing going on.

Thanks, Nergal. And Good Luck, Hmm.

@Hmm as you can see I've now split this into a seperate thread for you.

I'd untick everything in Internet Explorer other than "Temporary Internet Files" and "Cookies".
Although IE is now deprecated those two are still in use by other Windows and 3rd party apps, they are just convinient storage areas for temporary files so other things than IE have been using them for years.
CCleaner itself puts temporary files in "Internet Explorer -Temporary Internet Files" when launched - and then cleans them (if it's ticked). So you are going to see it every time you run a clean.

The fact that you have those files from Chrome less that a minute after a previous clean says to me that your Chrome is synced and/or running in the background?
Either that or you have run Chrome in between the 2 screenshots.

That doesn't seem to be an issue, but if Chrome is running in the background I'm wondering if that could also be affecting the cleaning of Edge Chromium?
They could be using common files?

Anyway, putting that aside for now:

As your issue seems to be with Edge Chromium it would be interesting if you could try each of the cleaning sections one at a time to see which is/are being 'sticky'.
It's probably the analysis that's taking the time rather than the cleaning itself, so just doing an analyse for each in turn should show it up.
To do that right-click on each one in turn and 'Ananlyze' it to see how long it's taking. eg:

You'll probably find that it's just one of them that is taking longer than the others.
