I assume that your CCleaner is installed at the Standard Location- "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\.". If that still doesn't work then I'd uninstall CCleaner, Restart, and reinstall CCleaner.Īnd as a precaution you may want to run a virus/malware scan on your computer just to make sure that it isn't something else pretending to be CCleaner, although that's unlikely some malwares do like to pretend that they are well known apps.įor info what is your Windows version/build? Sometimes things Windows can get 'stuck' and carried across Shutdown/Boot - A Restart can clear these. I think that the first thing I would do is a Restart (not a shutdown) of your computer and see if that stops the notifications. Disable UAC: UAC (User Access Control) may be blocking your access to specific folders. Ensure that the admin has made accessing the folder possible for you over the network or provided you with an admin account. Why CFA is being triggered at startup by CCleaner (or what it thinks is CCleaner) I have no idea, but CFA does get things wrong and can be overzealous. Check with the system administrator: administrators may have restricted access to certain files and folders. Obviously that would not be happening if you didn't have CCleaner open and run the registry cleaner. The only thing that I am aware of that CCleaner would put in any of those folders is a registry backup if you tell the Registry Cleaner to make one. It provides an additional layer of protection when programs try to make changes to files in your personal data folders, like your Documents, Pictures, and Desktop folders. It is found in Windows Security, Virus and Threat protection, Ransomware protection. It is about protecting your own files from ransomware. Controlled Folder Access is not about 'memory' or system files.
