CCleaner is Skipping Edge Cleaning

[Larry42]

I had this problem earlier, and I fixed it (at least for awhile) by turning off boost, and disallowing background running of extensions and apps. Well, I've still got those turned off, but the behavior (CCleaner skipping Edge cleaning) has returned. Please provide thoughts and/or suggestions. Thanks.

The only way I think you may be able to do it now (until this gets sorted out by Microsoft) is to open Task Manager and right-click on Edge and select End Task and then run CCleaner.

Yes something in a new edge update is keeping it running and starting it at idle.  I've found some success in using group policy editor (i have pro version of windows) to strictly refuse starting at startup or when idle (administrive templates>windows components>microsoft edge). It started doing it again today (once but can't reproduce yet).

Thanks Hazelnut. That's exactly what I've been doing, but it's a pain in the arse that seems like it should be unnecessary. Question, why do you think that Microsoft might think they have something to sort out? I would assume they're oblivious to this.

Thanks Nergal. I have the Home version and I'm not aware of any way to turn off background running through windows settings.

Because too many people are reporting across different forums that Edge keeps running even when it shouldn't be.

Hi Hazelnut. Did that approach of toggling the boost and background buttons work for other people? It didn't work for me. I'll just wait for something to change. In the meantime, I'll just do an end task in task manager. Thanks.
