CCleaner won't open

[Tim Drake]

No matter how many times I reinstall it, it just refuses to open.

 

A split second of loading and then nothing.

 

Any ideas?

I assume you have UAC on?

 

You could always uninstall it, then use CCleaner to clear.. wait that won't work  :lol: Low blow??

Could also try an earlier build if you can find one.

Yeah i'm serious. You can't just expect me to understand abbreviations?

That didn't work either.

OK sorry, I wrongly assumed.

 

Go to control panel, click User Accounts, then choose Change User Account Control settings. What's the slider set to?

Can you set it to default (you'll need to restart) sometimes turning UAC off for Windows 8/8.1 can have some weird effects on programs.

Not saying it will work, just to rule it out.

I am currently doing a full system scan for malware + viruses as I seem to have something that keeps coming back every restart.

 

For all I know this could be the cause of my problem.

 

If not, I will try it after this scan.

Could be a problem in the registry or something.

Have you tried the portable version? You can download it from the official CCleaner builds page.

I tend to use that rather than the installer because it also allows me to run it on other people's computers and also run multiple instances simultaneously.
