Solved Issues With System Restore


Thank you for posting your solution. Unlike some here, I am a firm believer in Ccleaner and have used it for many years without any problems though I do not use it for registry cleaning, just temp stuff. I reverted back to an old version until they fix it as I know they will. The folks at Piriform make good software.

I can't rember the last time I had to sign in on any site (except perhaps my banking ones). I never sign out of forum sites, just close down the browser and/or the PC. And keeping my login cookies means that I'm already signed in when I return.

You are right. The whole point of having CCleaner was to negate the constant re-sign back into sites.

I have used LastPass, Dashlane and Bitwarden but with CCleaner saving cookies, I can clear history and not have to re-sign in - which is why I got CCleaner (as we mentioned).

Additionally, whenever I re-sign in, I get annoying emails from mainly Amazon/Netflix saying someone has logged into my account.
I will keep Portable and see what the next version of CCleaner entails... :-)

Cheers

Portable is identical in all respects to an installed version. The only difference is that it includes one extra file, portable.dat, which tells it to use the .ini file instead of the registry.

Yep, I actually thought about it after I posted the response and in all probability I'll keep the Portable version.

It does what I want it to do - clears history, stores my log-ins (via cookies saved), and leaves my system restore alone.

I have close to 80 sites in my password manager. Very few are forum sites. My main computer is a laptop, and it is usually with me on my travels. I prefer to be signed out of sites.
