CCleaner Update to Version 6.xxx

The-Hive · May 12, 2022

New version out today all versions

Okay, I admit I'm paranoid about these new additions to CCleaner in the past year or two. The Driver Updater is a sometime thing. I've had to reverse it as many times as I've kept the updates. The Health Check wipes a bunch of things I don't want wiped, like the record of used targets in the Run menu.

So I'm asking: has anybody actually tried the new addition? Anything good or bad to report?

Many thanks for your time and indulgence.

Health check is merely removing cache and cookies, Pro startup removes startup items and check for updates.
So they are promoting something they are already doing as a new feature, an interesting marketing pinch.

Performance Optimizer suggests to put to sleep active programs, out of 8, 4 are not even running.
How far has CCleaner gone, so far down. I was expecting it to be bad, but not this bad, it is really PUA.

Boost your PC's speed by up to 34%

When they start boasting like this you know it is already a lost case. Iobit could boost performance by up to 1200%. :lmao:

Performance Optimiser does work. It needs an ignore list though As there’s some entries (HD Sentinel, Unchecky to name two) which it closed but I’d prefer not to deselect these every time I run the program.
I used Health Check once - never again. It prevented the PC from starting. Macrium recovery moment.
The Driver Updater seems OK to me as (so far) it’s not caused any problems.
