I just do a complete reformat once a year or so. Solves any potential issues over time software side. I was big on these cleaner, tune up, optimizer software a few years back and found they were either worthless or caused side effects to your computer. Rather save my money and do a yearly sweep.
I'm still using the one in Norton Utilities 16 and before that Norton SystemWorks for the last 18 years, it cleans daily automatically and has never caused problems. jv16 used to be very popular but every once in awhile, it will cause issues as it requires picking what you want removed after the scan.
Most things just barely work in VM, using VM to demo software is not what I would call a demo. IMHO
Again this really isn't a debate about Windows 10, though I think the article tried to make it so. Sounds more like a sales pitch to get 10 in the spotlight, than a real article. CCleaner is certainly not perfect, but for some it seems to help. Wasn't it Microsoft who, developed WindowsOne that was a cleaning tool somewhat like CCleaner, that went through and removed certain things, and clean up Windows? Why did they stop that? Could it have been that CCleaner did a better job?
Personally the more I use Windows 10, the less I like it. So for me, I will just keep using those old programs like CCleaner to keep past versions running.
