Hello everyone!

Can you help me solve this problem: Ccleaner launches at startup.

I followed the instructions found online but without success:

( Startup, Windows +r, msconfig in run, ok, startup, uncheck Ccleaner and restart )

thank you very much!

Hi,

Look there, you need to disable it from startup via the CCleaner interface: https://www.malekal.com/supprimer-ccleaner-demarrage-windows/

Personally, I would recommend uninstalling CCleaner as it's not very useful.
Windows has what it takes to clean the disks: How to clean Windows.

Hello,

You just need to go to the CCleaner settings and uncheck the startup cleaning option.

Hello! Thank you for your help!
But I unchecked "run on startup" without any result, CCleaner still starts at startup!
What should I do then?
Thanks a lot!

I am aware of my very low level in computers (due to my old age, unfortunately!) but in the options, I don't see "monitoring".

Hello everyone,

Indeed, monitoring is no longer present in the latest versions.

Check here if the last box is not checked

  You uncheck the top line, then the bottom one, and respond yes to the message that will appear.

I followed your instructions and unchecked the indicated boxes.

CCleaner still launches at startup...

  Have you disabled the startup launch and the two lines in intelligent monitoring?
  (3 boxes to uncheck in total)

2. scottie52 Posted messages 74 Registration date Status Member Last intervention
  
  Yes, I have unchecked the 3 boxes.
  I even uninstalled and then reinstalled CCleaner, which still keeps starting up. So I'm giving up!

As for the issue raised in the community, Ccleaner starting at boot, it is still relevant as it has not been resolved. None of the many proposed solutions work!

Surprising ....

Uninstall it and use only the built-in cleaner in Windows 7.
Here are the explanations on the cleaner:
https://www.astuces-pratiques.fr/informatique/nettoyer-son-disque-dur-sur-windows-7

OR

You uninstall it then reinstall by clicking on "custom" just below instead of "install," and you uncheck what concerns automatic launch (monitoring) before installation.

When reinstalling the latest version, if you didn't uncheck to install Avast, you might end up with 2 antivirus programs?

If Avast is installed, download this utility --> avastclear
Boot into safe mode
Run avastclear.exe to uninstall it
Restart the PC.

Download and install --> Revo Uninstaller
Run it as administrator
Uninstall CCleaner
Follow the tutorial closely to completely uninstall including residual folders and keys.
Restart the PC.

Download and install --> CCleaner
During installation, remember to uncheck Install Avast
Choose --> Custom installation
Uncheck all boxes except putting an icon on the desktop

Run CCleaner
Tools
Startup
In Windows and scheduled tasks, delete CCleaner
Options
Monitoring
In Smart Cleaner, uncheck all boxes

Hello!
Thanks for your help!

No, I didn't check Avast, especially since the Avast box to check (or not to check) didn't appear in the options.
However, I did check just to be sure if Avast was in the programs, but it is not listed.

Hello,

Follow the kaneagle procedure that I acknowledge to properly uninstall Ccleaner
with Revo

The uninstallation procedure in images
Launch Revo and right-click on Ccleaner

Uninstall

Check or select → ''advanced '' then run the scan

Check all the boxes (select all) and delete

Repeat the same operation if prompted, select all and delete

Finally click on → Finish

Restart the PC

Logically you should no longer have Ccleaner
Confirm this in your next message.

Resume the personalized installation of Ccleaner from message 34
Uncheck the box → Avast

Select these 2 boxes

Open Ccleaner and uncheck the 3 monitoring boxes as indicated in the discussions

Waiting for your comment.
P.S: I'm taking the opportunity to greet the other participants :-)

Hello,

Did you uninstall CCleaner with Revo and then reinstall it?

I just did a clean install of CCleaner and the version offered is not up to date with the link from CCM
You don’t mention it, which is strange.
I have updated the new version of the guide
The latest version is → CCleaner 5.51
To be more precise CCleaner 5.51.6939
You can find it here

This might be your problem.
Here’s the message received stating that a new version is available:

After relaunching the setup

Choose → Customize

Click on → More

Choose →Install just for me

Then check only the 1 box
You will have a shortcut on the Desktop

That's it for the installation.

Launch CCleaner and set it to French
Options → Settings → Francais (french)

Configuring CCleaner
Options →Settings
Uncheck the boxes
→Add 'run CCleaner' to the recycle bin context menu
→ Add 'Open CCleaner....' to the recycle bin context menu

Options →Smart Cleaning
Uncheck all the boxes

Options → Users
If you followed everything correctly since the beginning it is → Current user only
The other 2 boxes are for the Pro version.
And it is very possible that CCleaner will launch to get you to switch to that version
This is a very important point

Settings for updates
Make sure the Pro box is not checked, it’s the last one at the bottom
Options → Updates

That’s all.

I think it’s important to specify that you should be the only user of the PC during installation.
I restarted my PC to finish the tutorial and CCleaner doesn’t launch.

Or you could take the portable version of CCleaner here
you will need to unzip the archive afterwards

A+
