Hey Why did you add uncontrollable 'monitoring' with the new version of #CCleaner? I had it off in prior versions, but the tray icon says it is on regardless of my setting. And restart and by magic it has enabled itself.

Enable active monitoring cannot be disabled. Seen some strange things with #ccleaner since recent take over. No matter how many times I disable Active Monitoring it keeps reinstating itself after every reboot!! Grr! CCleaner Free v Well, after 14(?) years I'm finally uninstalling #CCleaner no way to disable active monitoring LUL #nicetry The changes didn’t go unnoticed by users. Your only option was to force it to close using your OS or a third-party tool.

By default, it would just minimise to the system tray when you tried to close it. That’s if you were actually able to close the software at all. For example, active monitoring (a feature that periodically reminds you to clean out your system using the software) could technically be turned off in CCleaner’s menus, but it would turn back on whenever you rebooted your PC or closed the software. Version 5.45 made a number of very unpopular changes. The controversial changes, first reported by gHacks, were introduced in late July, and came off the back of CCleaner developer Piriform’s acquisition by the anti-virus company Avast in 2017. CCleaner’s parent company, Avast, has pulled version 5.45 of the popular software after a sustained backlash against its active monitoring feature, the removal of privacy features from its free version, and the fact that it prevented users from being able to quit the software at all.
