I found CCleaner 6.39 through a simple search.
Type in Search Bar > ccleaner 6.39 download > Scroll down to SoftPortal (Download CCleaner 6.39.11548 for PC) > choose download from SoftPortal servers (EXE file). Don't download from "official site" as they only offer the new release 700. You could probably use Techspot or informer.com as well.
CCleaner, the free version, used to work just fine on Windows 11 22H2, but NOT Windows 11 24H2. I applied every possible solution at no avail. I submitted a technical support ticket with CCleaner in the past three weeks, but I didn't hear back from them. Any help is greatly appreciate it.
Andy Reed,
I have preferred the 6.39 over the 7.
After a successful download of 6.39 I needed to maintain the following regimen.
This PC > Local Disk (C > program files > CCleaner>
delete the following
CCupdate file and temp_ccupdate_700_pro
I found the files will reload but I do this to successfully run the old version. Otherwise the new install will begin for version 7.
I haven't figured out how to permanently stop the reload of the updater.
Have full version, very good product! Could have more features for system optimisation though, like offering a driver update package (like it gives recuva e.g separately), though it is excellent for what it does.
Bjorn I, no way on using CCleaner to update drivers. I did that two years ago (in 2021) on a laptop with Windows 10 and one of the driver updates through the program caused BSOD. Being I was not doing driver updates individually myself, I never could figure out which driver update in particular caused it but it took me all weekend to even get to the point where I could even reinstall the OS because Windows 10 required administrator and WiFi access. But the WiFi was knocked out so I could not sign in and verify my credentials. It's a miracle the laptop did not need professional repair. I steer clear of ever even clicking driver update on newer versions of CCleaner. In fact, after what happened I prefer using older versions now before it was a feature. I would just like to see it removed entirely after this experience. Otherwise, CCleaner is an excellent program.
A very useful tool to help with keeping your system clear of files that tend to affect your system's performance. The application is constantly updated, and has proven to be an invaluable utility in my arsenal for maintaining my system's performance.
For me, it deserves three stars because it's time for the Piriform combines the following apps:
- CCleaner
- Recuva
- Defraggler
- Speccy
Four in one with the ability to enable or disable apps, many other programs are going to overcome this app.
