after the upgrade old ccleaner sways will not work with this version of windows, so I uninstalled it and did not install the newer version, I wonder how much they paid microsoft to make this happen, it does not seem like something microsoft would do all on their own for some software reason.
I had the same problem, but you can get around this by renaming ccleaner64.exe to something else.
I’d say is time to ditch them both…
