Let me know in the comment if you have any query.
Say what? CCleaner 5.64 works fine. When I “update” to CCleaner 5.65 it won’t work at all. Clicking on the desktop icon does nothing. Clicking the 5.65 from Programs also does nothing. It appears to me that 5.65 is NOT compatible with Win-10.
Just rename the exe to something else.
