Windows 11 General Discussion

[Hugis]

Jumped back to win 10, was having startup issues(really long boot times-all better now with a fresh install)

 

[R-T-B]

I never heard back on anyone retesting that

I swapped from a 5800X to 5950X and saw no difference even in the AIDA64 bench.

I sort of doubt that's even a thing at this point.

They could have at least put dark theme on task manager... I've filed a complaint about it ages ago.

they can't find that part of the code


They could have made darkpad avaiable to W10. Not that i use it very much, but it was nice anyway.

It's only available for Insiders right now, anyway. It's not shipping yet in the W11 general release channel.

Regardless, it might show up in a future update of Windows 10. Though this is a store application now, not a standard win32 app anymore, so who knows, maybe it will show up separated from a W10 feature upgrade.

there was also another hack recently apparently.

Avast: No plans to discontinue CCleaner following second hack in two years

I have used CCleaner for a long time, and actually pay for it. It has an actually usable driver updater too. Probably unlike some, i actually pay for it too, same as Malwarebytes.

CCleaner for Windows Hacked to Spread Malware, Update Now

CCleaner for Windows has been hacked to spread malware to users of the 32-bit version. Here's what you need to know (and do).

What Are the Best CCleaner Alternatives?

For a long time CCleaner has been the most popular system-cleaning tool for Windows, extending its reach to other platforms like macOS and Android phones. However since...

[windwhirl]

Tbh, I haven't bothered with CCleaner for years now. I just let Windows purge things by itself.

I just let Windows purge things by itself

And I laughed bc word "Purge"

 

[lexluthermiester]

Why what's the problem with CCleaner?

It get's out on the net, generally to look for updates but it also reports usage and whatnot. Nothing of a personal nature, but still. It's best to block it.

 

[Mussels]

Why what's the problem with CCleaner?

CCleaner went to the dark side, got hacked a few times.

And of course, the whole concept of "i must clean all temp files all the time!" is silly.
For some reason thats how things get broken, and then only a cleaner will fix them...
(Like how people that use DDU find that regular uninstallers stop working, but people that never use DDU at all dont have that issue)


If my OS is 6 months old or my C: drive is looking full, sure - i'll clean as a once off. But all the time? what's the benefit? Temp files exist to speed things up the next time around, they serve a purpose.

That breach happened years ago. The article was last updated on Oct. That's not the same as the occurrence date. As evidenced by the version number, 5.33. CCleaner is currently on 5.86

CCleaner went to the dark side, got hacked a few times.

It was 2017. It been fine in the last few years.

Can we all stop with the over-reacting?

CCleaner has a good driver updater, saves checking them all separately

 

[theFOoL]

Why hasn't M$ Added this within the system?

Note: now on the two previous Dev's they have a White Line going on task bar where ends at the tray area.... "What are they doing"?

this update actually fixed the slow NVME / C: Drive speeds.
unzipping my 17GB backup folder with around 2900 files in it was always at around 350MB/s now it is ~ 690-750MB/S (and it actually takes half the time compared to before)
