So i updated to the latest version of Ccleaner.
In doing so,there seems to be some issues.
In the "options/settings" i unchecked "Run Ccleaner when the computer starts",and disabled it through the msconfig utility.
However,upon reboot,it starts up.
Although when i checked the settings again,it was "unchecked".I then went back to the msconfig utility,and again,it was in the startup list
to start when the computer starts.
So i repeated my steps,making sure it was disabled in the settings and in the msconfig utility,plus i made sure it was disabled
through autoruns.
I rebooted and wouldnt yah know it,it started again at startup.
I completely uninstalled it,wiping any and all traces from my computer,including the registry.
I reinstalled and still having the same exact issue.
And then it decides to change the language on me by itself..lol..like it has a mind of it's own.
Frustrating needless to say.
Should i dump it and go back to an earlier version,or should i just dump it all together?

The latest version is buggy to say the least. I went back to a previous version.

Joseph:
Load Piriform Cleaner 5.74.8198.
Go to Tools - Startup.
Click the Scheduled Tasks and Windows Services sections.
It's my guess an entry in one or both sections needs to be highlighted and then disabled.

Joseph:
Load Piriform Cleaner 5.75.8198.
Go to Tools - Startup.
Click the Scheduled Tasks and Windows Services sections.
It's my guess an entry in one or both sections needs to be highlighted and then disabled.

Checked both.There was only one task in windows services.
I rechecked the settings and its still unchecked for startup,disabled it in the msconfig again,
and disabled it in autoruns.
Upon reboot,it started up again.everything i did reverted back as if i never touched it.

Alternatives to Ccleaner?

 

[Snuffleufflegus]

Going to give "Wise Disk Cleaner" a try.
Seems to work fine.No issues so far like i was having with ccleaner.
Pretty quick,minimal settings.
I might like this

I use Piriform CCleaner 5.74.8198 (free version) in all of my Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers.
It doesn't load during startup in any of them.
There must be one or two settings you have enabled that I don't.

A couple of bugs which affect me:
The ‘save settings to .ini file’ gives an error & resets everything to default settings & CCleaner‘s icon in the notification area closes itself (after cleaning or checking for updates?).

I have been using Privazer for some time now and have never had any problems. It can be used in Basic or Advanced mode and does a very thorough job: https://privazer.com/en/review.php

It is not a 'set and forget' tool, at least not at first, and users need to pay attention to the information that a scan produces. I am arrogant enough to use it in 'Advanced' mode and, depending on how the settings are adjusted, it will remove material from the Registry unless you cancel that option. I prefer to use the options to create a Restore point and backup the Registry before each scan and, over many years of use, I have never needed to use either of them to 'rescue' my system.

-------------------------------------------------

all settings are disabled as in the previous versions.
the only settings i can seem to find were in the settings,scheduled task's,msconfig,and autoruns.
after disabling everything and rebooting,it reset itself to restart in the msconfig utility and autoruns,but no where else.I have missed nothing. atleast i cant find any other settings.
I never had this issue in the previous versions.I only had to uncheck the box in the ccleaner settings to not start when the computer starts and it was good to go.

I just gave wise disk cleaner a look; seems like it does a good job AND does not want to run at startup OR install AVG.....
