Version 6.04 brings various usability improvements to CCleaner. In Health Check, the scan now ignores files that were modified less than a minute ago, meaning that, after we've cleaned, the app won’t communicate that a PC is “under the weather” when it’s not!
This release also includes some minor usability tweaks to the new Cleaning Schedule interface. Plus, we have improved our error reporting to get better information if the app crashes, so we can address critical issues sooner.

- All skipped driver versions are also grouped together in this list
- We've added some hint panels that give more information about the 'paused' and 'skipped' groups

- In Driver Updater, we fixed crashes that could occur during an update or when closing CCleaner
- In Software Updater, we fixed Google Drive showing "Unknown publisher"
It does an okay job, but there are better alternatives. It needs to do a better job of finding the right drivers. However they keep improving it and adding millions of drivers and as result I'm sure it will be very good in time.@roger_m Thoughts on Driver Updater Tool? What do you think?

- We’ve made Health Check cookie scanning smarter, so it preserves cookies for your favorite, commonly used websites in the same way as Custom Clean.
- New ‘My account’ area has a more modern look and feel with quick access to subscription settings, cleaning schedule, recommended products, and CCleaner support.
- Improvements to users' post-purchase onboarding.
- Fixed issue when TeamViewer cleaning could restart the service.
To confirm, there is an issue with CCleaner 6.11 specifically relating to running cleans on TeamViewer, which (as per @NE0) can be temporarily worked-around (until we release a fix) for impacted TeamViewer users by unchecking TeamViewer under Custom Clean > Applications > Utilities.
This impacts all Windows versions, but the code in question is specific to TeamViewer cleaning. It does not appear that any other cleaning rules are impacted and does not impact computers that do not have TeamViewer running. The developers are currently working on a fix. TBD at this point if a fix will be issued with the CCleaner 6.12 May release or in an earlier patch.
[Patch update 6.11.10455]
We have released a hotfix for version 6.11 that fixes CCleaner crashing when TeamViewer is cleaned. Crashing could have occurred in either Custom Clean or Health Check.
If you have disabled automatic updates, you can download the patch installer directly from CCleaner.com. You do not need to uninstall the current version of CCleaner before running the installer.
