![]() They have been there for a long time with Windows Phone, and even earlier ARM devices. At some point, I believe a lot of these issues will be worked out as Microsoft expands into the ARM environment. There are only a couple of programs that I have run into that are not compatible with Windows 10 for ARM the Western Digital (WD) Discovery software to tap into my WD NAS, and the ActivClient software that I use with my Smart Card to access some work website. It runs both Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe Acrobat 2017 smoothly. I believe the Microsoft SQ1 processor Qualcomm built for Microsoft for the Surface Pro X is a derivative of the Snapdragon 835. Even though the reviews for the Snapdragon 835 was criticized for its speed running Windows 10 on ARM, I find it nimble. So far, the battery life of my ARM device is phenomenal compared to its Intel counterparts. ![]() It can a useful tool if you know how to use it properly, but can cause serious damage if used indiscriminately by an amateur. It's showing as 'Planned' in the CCleaner improvement roadmap, but we are still waiting for it to happen. The Piriform staff agree and have promised to move it into the advanced tools so that non-techinical users aren't tempted to use it willy-nilly. We have raised the issue of the Registry Cleaner many times, we see the posts from users who have damaged their system using it unecessarily. We are not employed or paid by Piriform, it's a voluntary (by invitation) role. The Moderators are simply users who have shown they are helpful, responsible, and capable of keeping a forum 'tidy', most of us moderate other sites/forums as well as here. Not realy, you'll find the same comment(s) made by any one of the moderators here over the past few years. Strange comment for a moderator of a forum which sells an app that's one of it's primary functions is this. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to try. I picked it up on eBay for a fair price to learn Windows 10 on ARM. However, the HP ENVY x2 is not my main computer. ![]() In hindsight, I should have backed up the registry, and just reverted! Then started over with a fresh factory image. When this happened, I started over with a clean slate, and kept checking the boxes in CCleaner until I reproduced the issue again. That is the case with how I discovered the "Windows Services" was the culprit for corrupting the sign-in registry key. For me, I am not afraid of tinkering with the registry and starting over with a fresh factory image. Since they are both sign-in features, I can only assume that it would have the same effect. With "Windows Services" selected under Registry of CCleaner, I only know that it would corrupt the registry key related to the Windows Hello PIN feature. I never set this feature up under Windows Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. Like the Surface Pro X, the HP ENVY x2 has the "Windows Hello Face" sign-in capability. If you know for sure that your hard drive is a conventional one, you can use the Security and Wipe functions in Drive Wiper, although Drive Wiper is limited to “1 pass”.You mean you are not sure as you've not re-ticked it? This can also occur if your hard drive is misreporting itself to the computer. If this happens, CCleaner identifies the drive as a solid-state drive (for safety reasons). Sometimes CCleaner can't work out whether a drive is a solid-state drive or a conventional hard drive. Why is my hard drive shown as a solid-state drive? Because of this, solid-state drives include functionality to spread the 'writes' across the hard drive, stopping secure overwrite procedures from repeatedly writing over the same portion of your hard drive. The number of times you 'write' data on a portion of a solid-state drive helps determine its lifespan. ![]() You can find out more in our article on Defraggler and SSDs. Note: We also don't recommend defragmenting SSDs due to the same lifespan concerns. ![]() Options > Settings > Secure Deletion and Wipe Free Space drivesīecause of the potential impact on an SSD's lifespan, we limit the Drive Wiper tool to using a “1-pass” wipe on drives that CCleaner identifies as solid-state drives.Custom Clean > Windows tab > Advanced group > Wipe Free Space.The CCleaner functions that can impact an SSD's lifespan: For more info on this, go to Wiping SSDs with CCleaner further down this page. CCleaner works with SSDs with some exceptions for Custom Clean and Drive Wiper. ![]()
