CCleaner v6.04.10044
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.

Taking the hassle out of PC maintenance
  • In Health Check, the scan now ignores files that were modified less than a minute ago
  • We’ve made some small usability tweaks to Performance Optimizer and Cleaning Schedule
Fixing bugs
  • Fixed CCleaner re-enabling Windows System Restore on every launch; going forward, System Restore will only be activated if enabled via Driver Updater
  • Fixed all drivers disappearing from lists after closing 'Restart Now' popup
  • Fixed an issue causing backups to be removed due to an access rights issue
  • We now require restarts for reverting as well as updating certain drivers (fixes issue where the scan gets stuck at 0%)
  • We’ve fixed some visual issues that occur when Windows is scaled above 100%
  • We’ve added a reporting tool that will help us to identify the most common crashes and their causes

CCleaner v6.07.10191 released
Version 6.07 brings a slightly faster start up time for CCleaner, a new ‘pause updates’ option for the Driver Updater tool, and various bug fixes and stability improvements.

Simplifying the app

We've optimized the app to start up more quickly

Taking the hassle out of PC maintenance

In Driver Updater, we've added a new 'Pause Updates' option to give you more control over which devices get updated
  • You can pause all future updates for a driver from its 'Details' screen
  • Pausing updates for a device removes it from the 'available updates' counts
  • The new flow has 'confirm' steps that explain what happens when driver updates are paused and skipped
  • All devices in the 'paused' state are grouped together at the bottom of the drivers list
  • 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
  • The new 'Pause Updates' and 'Skipped Versions' experiences fully support the NVDA screen reader
In Driver Updater, we've also made some other UX improvements:
  • We've made it easier to access the Driver Details view
  • Rows in the driver lists now highlight when the mouse cursor moves over them
Fixing bugs
  • In Health Check, we fixed version information not showing for software updates
  • 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"

@roger_m Thoughts on Driver Updater Tool? What do you think?
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.

You can see the constant improvements in the changelogs at Softpedia, for their standalone driver updater.

CCleaner v6.11.10435 crashes [TeamViewer: Under Investigation]
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.
