Recycle Bin shortcuts We've added two new options to your Recycle Bin right-click menu: clean your Recycle Bin instantly or launch a Custom Clean analysis - without opening CCleaner first.
Smoother browser handling during cleaning Browsers now close gracefully when CCleaner needs to clean browser data, so you won't see "browser did not close properly" errors anymore.
Scheduled Health Check now respects your exclusions We fixed an issue where scheduled Health Check cleans could delete temporary files you'd excluded. Your exclusions are now honored in every cleaning mode.
Expanding our cleaning

Helping you to keep your PC running fast and smooth
Menu badges for updates and optimizations Software Updater, Driver Updater, and Performance Optimizer now show badges with the number of available actions, so you can see at a glance what needs attention.
Sort drivers by date Driver Updater now lets you sort by Released date and Installed date, and tables are sorted by date automatically when you open them.
Keeping you safe
Stronger scheduling security We've strengthened the security of our scheduling system to ensure scheduled tasks can only be managed by the account that created them.
Fixing bugs
Software Updater accessibility improvements Tabs and sortable column headers now have proper hover and focus styles for easier keyboard and mouse navigation.
Health Check tables now sort by size Health Check results are now sorted by size (largest first) by default, making it easier to spot what's taking up the most space.
Consistent terminology in Uninstaller We've unified the label from "Space" to "Size" throughout the Uninstaller for a clearer, more consistent experience.
Fixed app window appearing off-screen If your monitor setup changes, CCleaner now resets its window to the center of your screen instead of opening where you can't see it.
Fixed Driver Updater getting stuck after cancellation Resolved an issue where canceling a driver update could cause Driver Updater to stop offering that update entirely.
Fixed a Performance Optimizer crash We resolved a rare crash that could occur in Performance Optimizer during scanning.
Fixed French localization in Driver Updater The French version of Driver Updater now correctly says "Searching for outdated drivers" instead of "Searching for outdated software."

Other stability and reliability improvements We've fixed several additional issues to make CCleaner more stable and accurate across the board.
Helping you to keep your PC running fast and smooth

Smoother Duplicate Finder scans. We’ve fixed lags and unresponsive buttons so starting and managing scans feels snappier.

Better support for special-character folders. Custom Clean and Files to clean now handle folders with accented or special characters without crashing and clean them as expected.
Enhancing our Software Updater
Clearer offline messages. Software Updater now shows the right “no internet” message when you try to scan while offline.
More reliable driver updates. Driver Updater no longer gets stuck when updating, so driver installs complete more smoothly.
More responsive Software Updater. We’ve fixed issues where Software Updater controls could appear or feel unresponsive.
Simplifying the app

Maintenance update for EU regulatory compliance
This release provides EU customers with an easier way to exercise their right to withdraw from their contract.
It looks like there were two CCleaner updates today, one for Version 6 and another for Version 7. I’m not sure how Version 6 is still receiving updates, but users of Version 6 (like @Sampei.Nihira) may be interested.
Startup Manager now shows context menu items. You can view and manage programs that add themselves to your right-click menu.
Improved program names in Startup Manager. All tabs now display human-readable program names and icons instead of raw file names.
Helping you to keep your PC running fast and smooth
Fixed an issue where CCleaner could start as a blank window. If something goes wrong with the display engine, CCleaner now recovers gracefully instead of showing a white or black rectangle.
Expanding our cleaning
Added Thunderbird to the applications list. You can now clean Thunderbird data directly from Custom Clean.
Fixed a mismatch between scan and clean results. Scan and clean now report consistent file and registry counts.
Better registry cleaning results. When you clean only registry items, the results page now shows the number of issues fixed instead of "0 B freed."
Enhancing our Software Updater
Skip or ignore software updates. CCleaner Professional users can now skip a specific version or pause all updates for an app — just like Driver Updater.

Improved Health Check readability. We've increased the text size on the Health Check landing page so it's easier to read.
Keeping you safe

Keeping you safe
Improved file-write security We've fixed a security issue found during an internal audQit that could have allowed unauthorized file writes under certain conditions.
Fixed a crash that stopped the CCleaner service from starting Resolved a startup crash caused by an internal lookup error that affected over 1,000 users.
Better handling of browser runtime updates CCleaner now properly detects when the Edge WebView2 runtime has been updated or removed, preventing crashes when opening in-app content.
Smoother app shutdown We've fixed a timing issue during shutdown that could cause a crash when background tasks were still running.
Fixing bugs
Installer now verifies WebView2 before launch The installer checks that the WebView2 runtime is actually present on disk, not just registered, and re-installs it if needed. This prevents launch failures some users experienced after installation.
Fixed an error when updating CCleaner Resolved an issue where some users saw a 0x404 error during the update process.
Faster app launch and no more duplicate windows CCleaner now opens roughly 3–6× faster. Launching CCleaner while it's already running correctly brings the existing window to the front instead of opening a second one.
Performance Optimizer no longer mislabels programs Fixed an issue where the WSL Service was incorrectly shown as "Microsoft GameInput" in Performance Optimizer.
Startup Manager shows the correct program names again Fixed an issue introduced in 7.09 where Startup Manager displayed wrong names for several common programs.
Your chosen landing page is now respected CCleaner now opens to the page you've set in Settings, instead of always defaulting to Health Check.
Health Check browser checkboxes work properly Clicking a browser name in the "Close browsers" dialog now correctly toggles its checkbox.

Manage your subscription from the app. The "Manage Subscription" button now opens your subscription portal directly, so you can review or update your plan without extra steps.
Fixing bugs
Fixed an issue where CCleaner couldn't install or launch. The installer now correctly sets up the required WebView2 component on Windows 8.1, 10, and 11.
Fixed incorrect Driver Updater status message. The results screen no longer says "Some drivers were updated" when all updates actually failed.
Fixed apostrophe display in French and Catalan. The Custom Clean warning dialog now shows apostrophes correctly instead of displaying code characters.
Fixed a rare issue where in-app messages could disappear. A timing issue could cause a new message to be incorrectly dismissed after a brief disconnection. This is now resolved.
Faster in-app message delivery. We reordered an internal check so messages appear more quickly instead of waiting unnecessarily.
