You are right, I've just checked and it's happening, but most of the time it's okay. I wonder whether it is cosmetic or it affects its cleaning performance...
If you use the portable version and updated it to 5.76, have a quick check just in case the Emergency Updater has appeared. https://community.ccleaner.com/topi...king-for-updates/?tab=comments#comment-326292
I have just installed it via Sandboxie and it takes very long to load, plus it can only close to the tray? It used to be a pretty good tool, too bad that Avast ruined it, it feels so bloated.
I have CCleaner installed and with it blocked in my firewall, it takes 15 to 16 seconds to open here. I just timed it.
Installed CCleaner takes 1 second to load on my test computer. I don't use it on my main computer. I use BleachBit instead.
It has been slow loading on my machines since several versions ago. I believe it is because I have it blocked in Windows Firewall. There was a discussion about that in this thread some time ago.
Krusty, How do you block it? In my "Allow apps to communicate through Windows Defender Firewall" I only see CCleaner Update. Not CCleaner.
I installed Windows Firewall Control, blocked CCleaner.exe, CCleaner64.exe and CCleaner Updater. I then closed WFC and disabled it from starting with Windows so the rest of my machine can connect without me babysitting. Edit: I blocked Outbound connections to those.
I just used Windows Firewall and blocked outbound connections for the two CCleaner exes. It now takes 12 seconds for CCleaner to open. I'll delete those rules. Now it's back to 1 second. I always delete the CCleaner Updater exe. And disable the Scheduled Task.
I think the slow loading for CCleaner was first mentioned here and carried on for a few more posts after. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/ccleaner-v5.370654/page-54#post-2914121
No idea. I use the above way on a laptop with Defender as av. On my desktop machine (ethernet) with Emsisoft as av, I use Emsisoft's 'kill network' button before I run CCleaner.
Thanks. This is from my desktop but I'm guessing the same would be true for my laptop. I can wait for CCleaner. I normally only run it just before I shut down or restart my machines - once or twice a day I suppose.
As I always browse Sandboxied I have very few cookies to delete so don't run CCleaner every day. I just don't want CCleaner deciding when I have to update, seeing what version I have etc., it's my machine.. my rules
