Latest CCleaner Version Released

Melchior said:

its actually a subscription service this days..
$29.95/year for pro..
they update it once and a while...
but for Defraggler and Speccy no updates in years...

Never cared for Defraggler and Speccy anyhow, but you can find different prices for CCleaner, 1 was for 24.95 ....might be able to find it cheaper.

Melchior said:

no? what do you use to defrag then?
Defraggler is great for me... I can defrag one or more files at a time..
and quick defrags are great too... lol..

I will have to wait and see what they offer me for a renewal price when I am due up in June this year..

Mine are all SSD's and they should never be defragged

Release Notes

v5.92.9652 (11 Apr 2022)

In this release, we’ve expanded cleaning for Edge, Firefox and Chrome and renamed some files for better clarity around what CCleaner is cleaning.
We’ve also released a preview of our new Performance Optimizer feature to a limited number of CCleaner users for their feedback. This new feature puts apps into ‘Sleep’ mode if they’re not needed to boost system performance.
Expanding our cleaning

• We added cleaning of bookmark backups in Edge and Firefox
• We expanded our Google Chrome ‘Metrics Temp Files’ rule to include Setup Metrics
• We’ve renamed the ‘Windows SubSystems Temp Files’ rule to “Network Data Usage” to make it clearer that this rule removes historical, statistical data about your network usage.

Helping you to keep your PC running smoothly

• We have released a preview of our new Performance Optimizer feature to a small number of users for their feedback
• This new feature is not yet suitable for users of assistive technologies, but will be when fully released
• We expect to make it available to everyone very soon!

More bloat crap, just like that dangerous auto driver updater and health check

Thanks for the heads up Cliff
