Here are my current CCleaner settings at Options | Updates. Going forward, do I have to delete the CCUpdate.exe file from my USB stick and delete the CCleaner Update task in Task Scheduler every time I update to a newer version of CCleaner Portable and then run a check for updates manually, or is there a simpler solution? I would prefer to have this automatic update check either completely disabled or configure CCleaner Portable so that update checks only runs when I launch CCleaner, and don't want this background update check running multiple times a day (especially when I don't use an installed version of CCleaner and my USB stick is rarely plugged in). and there appears to be a new task called CCleaner Update in Task Scheduler that is scheduled to run at least three times a day (once at every boot-up, plus twice a day at 9:43 AM and 9:43 PM) to look for an available update.Īre the CCUpdate.exe file and CCleaner Update task in Task Scheduler part of the the Emergency Updater introduced in CCleaner v5.36 (see the Oct 2017 article CCleaner 5.36 Emergency Updater) for installed versions of CCleaner (i.e., the 'standard' and Slim builds)? This Emergency Updater was never included in my earlier versions of CCleaner Portable. After the update finished I noticed that I now have a new file called CCUpdate.exe on my USB stick. I launched CCleaner v today at ~ 9:43 AM and was prompted to download the latest v (rel. I run CCleaner Free Portable from a removable USB stick a few times a month.
