How to stop deleting Windows Mail accounts? [winapp2]

[Apesbrain]

Last few times I've run CCEnhancer/CCleaner on my Windows 10 Pro machine it deleted all but my Hotmail account from Windows Mail.  It must be a new option in winapp2 that is causing this.  Seems like an unwanted behavior to me.  Can someone tell me how to disable it?  Thanks.

Please check if you have enabled the Winapp2.ini cleanup rule [Windows Credential Manager Saved Credentials *] and if yes, disabled it.

Thanks, I did have that enabled.

In spite of rule above being disabled, latest cleanup still deleted all but my Microsoft account from Windows 10 Mail.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks.

@Apesbrain: winapp2 is a community-created and maintained ruleset for CCleaner, which makes it a little tricky to diagnose if this is a bug or a feature.

Have you tried running native CCleaner, without the CCEnhancer/Winapp2.ini?  Do you get the same thing happening?

This is very strange, as Winapp2.ini has not been updated since then. You can try to additionally disable the cleanup rule [Windows Mail and Calendar *].
